GUEST GOURDS TOUR

REGIONAL POETRY TOURS

GUEST GOURDS TOUR
REGIONAL POETRY TOURS

Free & Open to the Public

The Guest Gourds Tour is an opportunity for a well known poet to tour our region as a guest of the Talking Gourds Poetry Club. These readings take place intermittently and will be publicized through our monthly mailing list. Sign up to receive notifications of these special readings!

Talking Gourds programming survives without government grant or subsidy through the generous support of private donors and Club members. There is a one-time fee of $25 to join the Talking Gourds Poetry Club which makes you a full member for a year and gets you on our mailing list for readings, festivals and contests. It also means that you are one of those generous supporters who believes in the importance of the arts on the Western Slope.
