This Valentine’s Day, make your way to the newly opened Woodstock Library for an intimate afternoon of live language that’s anything but ordinary. Expect electric storytelling and sharp, resonant verse that celebrates human experience in all its complexity — funny, fierce, and unforgettable.
Featured Voices
Zelda aka Judith Z. Miller brings a firecracker mix of movement, rhythm, and personal narrative rooted in queer life and performance. She’s lit up stages from the Kennedy Center to Dixon Place and across the Hudson Valley with work that is vivid, embodied, and deeply human.
Tina Barry is a poet whose luminous language turns everyday moments into something vivid and compelling, blurring the line between poem and memory. Her latest collection, I Tell Henrietta, weaves rich imagery with keen insight, earning her wide recognition in journals and presses.
Hosted by poet Phillip X Levine, this gathering also includes an open mic — an invitation to take the mic or simply listen as friends, neighbors, and fellow creatives share the room in a spirited celebration of language and connection.
Free and open to the public.
Presented in person and streamed live via Zoom and Facebook
