Words Out Loud: Knowing by Heart
Calais, VT: WORDS OUT LOUD As part of event offerings for Art at the Kent’s 2025 exhibit HOLDING at the Kents’ Corner State Historic Site, Words Out Loud, the popular Sunday afternoon fall reading series, returns to the Old West Church. This year, Words Out Loud: Knowing by Heart, features six Vermont authors, two on each of three Sundays in September, including Gary Clark (poetry), Helen Whybrow (memoir), Diana Whitney (poetry), LN Bethea (spoken word poetry), Harmony Belle Devoe (poetry), and Carlene Kucharczyk (poetry). Filled with thought-provoking poetry and prose spoken from the–and sometimes by–heart, readings on September 14, 21, and 28 will be followed by receptions down the road at the Kent amidst the art on display for this year’s exhibit “HOLDING: Mementos Kept, Memories Kindled” where attendees may meet and chat with the authors and a selection of books will be available in the shop.
The Words Out Loud readings take place at the Old West Church at 3 o’clock. Guests should arrive early to allow time for parking and seating at this historic 200-year-old meetinghouse in rural Calais, bring layers for warmth, and leave pets at home.
