Join Poet David Crews and the Hoosic River Watershed Association (HooRWA) for an evening of poetry as part of’ Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts’ Green Living Seminar Series: Nature + Spirituality,  at the Feigenbaum Center for Science and Innovation (FCSI), Room 121 in North Adams MA on Wednesday, January 28 at 5:30pm.

David Crews will read from his epic poem, HOOSIC RIVER. This event is free and open to the public. Proceeds from all books sold will be donated to HooRWA.

These poems were written while visiting various public-protected lands inside the river’s watershed, places that reside in and around ancestral lands and the home today of Muhheaconneok and western Abenaki peoples. The river’s name belongs to the Algonquin language family and Algonquin peoples came to this land as home over twelve thousand years ago as the last glaciers retreated from the region when the river, too, came into being.

David Crews is a writer who lives and works at Clear Brook farm, an organic fruit and vegetable farm located at the edge of the Hoosic river watershed in Shaftsbury, Vermont. He is author of Incantation, a limited edition handmade chapbook of poems designed and produced by Josh Dannin of Directangle Press (2022), Wander-Thrush: Lyric Essays of the Adirondacks (Ra Press, 2018), and High Peaks (Ra Press, 2015)—a poetry collection that catalogs hiking the “Adirondack 46ers” in upstate New York. His newest work, Hoosic River: A poem, is now available with NatureCulture. Find more information at davidcrewspoetry.com
