Cumberland Regional High School, in partnership with the Bridgeton Public Library, will host a film screening on Friday, May 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. and a poetry workshop on Saturday, May 2, from 1 to 3 p.m., featuring award-winning author and poet Maria Mazziotti Gillan.
On the evening of May 1 in the Media Center, there will be a screening of "All That Lies Between Us," a moving account of the life and work of Ms. Gillan, whose humble upbringing in an Italian-American enclave of Paterson inspired much of her writing.
Filmmakers and poets Mark Hillringhouse and Robert G. Evans will discuss the making of the film, and there will be open mic opportunities for audience participation.
The workshop on May 2, also in the Media Center, will offer a supportive environment for beginner, intermediate, and expert poets to generate new poems and to be guided in thinking about poetry -- writing, reading, listening and discussing.
All are welcome.
For more information, please contact Mr. Evans at evans@crhsd.org.
