Steve Veilleux
Welcome to EC-CHAP’s Dye & Bleach House Poetry Series! The series will be facilitated by Steve Veilleux., published author and Poet Laureate of Thompson, CT. All sessions will take place in the Dye & Bleach House Community Gallery, 156 River Road, Willington, CT.
The show’s format will consist of two open mic segments as well as a segment for the featured artist. Intermission will give audience and poet the chance to meet one another and the opportunity to purchase signed publications.
The open-mic segments will provide the opportunity for audience members to read their own original work. We are planning to allow for two half-hour sessions, one at the beginning of the event, and the other at the end. Readers will be given up to five minutes to present, and we will have a signup sheet.
The Featured Reader for May 21st will be Antoinette Brim-Bell (Antoinette Brim).
