Salisbury, Md. - The June Poets' Corner event, set for Thursday, June 13, will invite community members to a joyful celebration of kindness, love, diversity, and inclusion.

This month's Poets' Corner theme is Pride, and attendees are encouraged to dress to express support. The City of Salisbury's poet laureate, Nancy Mitchell, hosts this free event series.

Poets' Corner will run from 6-8 p.m. at the Salisbury Headquarters at 115 S. Division St.

The guest poet for this month's event is Cassandra Whitaker, who will read poems and discuss the recurring motifs of the wolf, a symbol of powerlessness and ultimately a person's shadow self or emptiness, and the bride, a symbol of joy, new identity/names, and love.

Attendees can bring their poems or prose to read or other poems/prose they would like to share, with attribution.
