See and hear Norma Humphrey during her April 10, 2010, memorial poetry reading for her late husband James Humphrey at Attleboro (Massachusetts) Public Library. Returning to the city where the family lived for nearly 10 years during the 1970s and early ’80s, Norma read for nearly an hour while a small gathering enjoyed hearing selected poems spanning 40 years.
On Monday, April 12, Norma Humphrey will feature her late husband’s poems during a celebration of poetry at Rhode Island College in Providence. The nationally-acclaimed poet was a student at RIC during the mid-1970s and regularly gave popular campus poetry readings (often accompanied by his friend, noted folk singer/songwriter/artist Jay Bolotin). “Argument For Love,” a notable reading held November 23, 1974, will be Mrs. Humphrey’s inspiration for the evening. The celebration begins at 6pm in the Unity Center on campus. The event will also feature readings by other poets. Free food and beverages will be available.
Hear the poet read “There Are Words” from the recording Argument For Love.
