MCHS Literary Salon
Description
The Madison County Historical Society will host another Literary Salon on Thursday, May 14, at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of Immanuel United Methodist Church at 800 N. Main Street in Edwardsville, Illinois. The Community Room is on the lower level with entry on the south side of the building.
The topic for this event, “Illinois Poets,” will include the work of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and biographer Carl Sandburg who was often called the “poet of the people.” Emeritus Professor Jeffrey Skoblow, who organized two previous Literary Salons for MCHS, reaches out to friends, as well as students attending SIUE and Edwardsville High School to recruit a group of poetry readers who are enthusiastic about the works they present. Both previous events were well attended with appreciative audiences.
The MCHS Literary Salons are offered at no charge to the public, although donations are always welcome. Light refreshments will be served.
