Poet Audrey Henderson of Boston headlines the final Haverhill River Bards Open Mic Night of the spring season.
Henderson reads from her debut collection, “Airstream,” Wednesday, June 17, from 7-8:30 p.m., at Creative Haverhill, 43 Washington St., Haverhill. The event is free.
Following Henderson’s reading, the audience is invited to share their works.
Henderson often draws on her experience growing up in Edinburgh to explore themes of memory, place, family and human connection. “Airstream” was shortlisted for Scotland’s Saltire Society’s First Book award. She has received several other honors including from The River Styx International Poetry Competition.
The River Bard series, organized in conjunction with Creative Haverhill, offers space for writers, readers and poetry enthusiasts to connect through the literary arts.
