FREE - No tickets required!Celebrate National Poetry Month and kick-off the 6th year of Poetry Downtown Rutland with a FREE screening of the Oscar-nominated documentary Come See Me in the Good Light. With pre-show poetry and a post-show community conversation on grief's essential role to living and how poetry and art help us to move forward, we’ll speak with panelists Poet Jess Bouchard, Artist-Healer Kelli Prescott, and Death Doula Jackie Proulx.
Come See Me in the Good Light, directed by Ryan White, is a poignant and unexpectedly funny love story about queer poets Andrea Gibson and Megan Falley facing an incurable cancer diagnosis with joy, wit, and an unshakable partnership. Through laughter and unwavering love, they transform pain into purpose, and mortality into a moving celebration of resilience.
Co-presenters The Paper Poet, whose mission is to decrease hardship by increasing heartship through art and poetic medicine experiences, and Phoenix Books, your local independent bookstore, with additional support from Poetry Society of Vermont, will be in the lobby starting at 5:30 PM with a communal poem activity inviting the audience to express their grief and love.
