Poetry Reading to Benefit Nepal
Sunday, October 25, 2026 at 2:00 pm
In the Historic Meetinghouse
A noisy world. And tragic. Bombs and mobs and politics. And now the Himalayas glowering over Nepal have added to the noise and tragedy. A glacier cracked open in late August sending snow and clogging mud avalanching down the gorges …killing and trapping 8,000 unwarned people. 8,000 people. Dead. Missing. Another sad terror to break the hearts of our planet.
What can I do? What can you do? Well, let us do something. On Sunday, October 25th at 2:00 p.m., in the Congregational Meeting House (Ridgebury Road and George Washington Highway) a trio of Ridgefield poets will present a fund-raiser reading in the hope that poems that might offer a comfort and a hope that the poems’s comfort will wind around the world and let our fellow-dwellers on the planet in Nepal know that they are on our minds and in our hoping hearts to help
Ridgefield Poet Laureate Emerita Barb Jennes, Artist / Poet Martha Talburt, and Ridgefield Poet Laureate Ira Joe Fisher will share their verses in a hope you’ll share your hearts to ease the pain in Nepal.
