National Poetry Month is right around the corner! April is a great time to read, write, and share poetry. There are a variety of workshop and reading events occurring at libraries, bookstores, coffee shops, and more, with Salina being no exception. One such event is the long-standing Salina Spring Poetry Series. 2025 celebrates its 41st year, with readings being held on Tuesdays in April at Red Fern Booksellers in Downtown Salina.
The series this year is sponsored by Salina Arts & Humanities and was curated by Traci Brimhall, Kansas Poet Laureate. Admission to each reading will be $5 at the door and free for students with ID.
“Poets have a wonderful ability to reflect our humanity and strengthen our understanding of each other,” said Brad Anderson, Executive Director of Salina Arts & Humanities. “The readings and invitations for the public to engage are a rewarding experience.”
“I’m grateful to be working with Salina Arts & Humanities again for the 41st season of the Salina Spring Poetry Series,” says Brimhall. “It's another year where there are five Tuesdays in the month, so it’ll be a month with a wonderful and packed set of Kansas poets. There are so many fantastic writers here, and I think this year’s group represents a great range of voices.”
The lineup of poets for the 2025 Salina Spring Poetry Series includes:
April 1 – Sam Taylor
April 8 – Brad Aaron Modlin
April 15 – Wanderer
April 22 – Luisa Muradyan
April 29 – Melissa Fite Johnson
