The Heartland Review

Morrison Gallery Poetry Series

The Poetry Series takes place the third Thursday of every month, September through April in the Morrison Gallery, James Owens Administration Building, Elizabethtown Community and Technical College. The readings begin at 7:00 pm. Sometimes a guest poet may be invited to read. Past featured readers have included Frederick Smock, Leatha Kendrick, Kathleen Driskoll, Frank X. Walker, and others. Winners and runners-up of the annual Poetry Contest are asked to be featured readers at the April Poetry Series reading.
