We're excited to announce our second season of "Third Fridays at Woodstock Library." Each third Friday from April - November, we feature readings by notable writers from the area and beyond, then turn over the mic to our talented audience.

We are honored to be chosen as the host for Gail Straub's Woodstock Bookfest one-day intensive workshop: Life Story’s Two Essential Partners: Fact & Imagination.

In our recent "Hudson Valley Haiku" workshop, participants flexed their considerable haiku muscles, feasted their eyes on Hudson Valley School art, created haiga, and polished it all off with a spirited renku.

Poetry Barn provided the tools: punch, awl, needles, twine, bone folders, paper. Five apprentice bookbinders provided the creativity. 

Catskill Made, a quarterly publication dedicated to artists and makers in the Catskill Mountains, featured our July event: "A Feast for Bards: Farm-to-Table Poetics," in their spring/summer 2016 issue Flow. 

The Poetry Barn is pleased to present a new, regularly occurring monthly reading at the Woodstock Library. Each third Friday of the month, we feature several writers/readers and host an open mic. 

It seemed only right that the Poetry Barn had its new windows installed on the darkest days of the year.
