Poetry Reading with Albert Groom

Join us in the Craine Room for a reading by Albert Groom, who recently published his first book of poetry, Eggplant: Golden or Scorned. Albert is a Cape Cod native. His writing presents a deep and reflective voice that examines and processes his past struggles with addiction, depression, and subsequent recovery. His unique approach to poetry turns it into a therapeutic tool he uses to come to terms with life’s various challenges, creating poems that find universal themes within personal experiences. 

Albert first discovered the joy of being a poet at an open mic event at Brook’s Park in Harwich. His work has previously been featured in Provincetown Public Library’s Photo and Poem series and was selected as Brewster Ladies Library’s March 2024 Poem of the Month. He has found that poetry is a journey, tool, and craft all at once. 

Copies will be available for sale and signing after the talk. Admission is free and all are welcome.
