- **Event Name**: First Class Mail: A Correspondence in Poetry
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Apr, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Poets Gibson Fay-LeBlanc and Stuart Kestenbaum have been corresponding since December 2024, sending letters in the form of poems to one another through the US mail.  Their letter writing was inspired by an epistolary poetry project developed by Maine poet laureate Julia Bouswma, where Mainers who were paired with partners from different parts of the state, exchanged poetry letters. The poems could take any form and address any subject matter. While the initial project was scheduled to last for four months, Kestenbaum and LeBlanc are continuing to correspond, addressing topics ranging from family life to the changing seasons to the turbulent state of the world. They’ve both been surprised  and moved by these investigations, and look forward to receiving letters in the mail. Join us as they discuss their correspondence.
This event is being funded by the Deborah Cummins Program Endowment.
