Voices of the Earth: The Future of Our Planet IV
Book Release Celebration

Notable Works is thrilled to announce some exciting news for our Notable Works’ community! The much-anticipated Voices of the Earth: The Future of Our Planet IV - Building Innovative Bridges for Tomorrow is right on track and set to be released and celebrated at the William Hall Library Auditorium on Saturday, June 27, 2026, from 11 AM to 1 PM. We warmly invite you to join Notable Works, Stormwater Innovation Center and the Cranston Public Library for this inspiring event, where guests will have the opportunity to be among the first to experience this new collection of original poems and artworks. Each piece is thoughtfully created around the theme: “Bridging the Divide and Coming Together for a Common Goal.” Beyond showcasing creative voices, this beautiful publication also includes a helpful listing of dedicated environmental agencies across Rhode Island. We hope you’ll join us in celebrating music, art, poetry, and the collective power of community as we work towards a more sustainable and innovative future!
This special celebration will feature an inspiring lineup of speakers, poets, artists, composers and musicians whose expertise and creativity enrich this “Voices of the Earth” event. Scientist Sara Sampieri Horvet of the Stormwater Innovation Center, who brings over twenty years of experience in water quality science and serves on the Barrington Land Conservation Trust’s Board of Directors, will deliver the keynote address. Notable Works is also proud to present readings by six poets whose works are included in this new publication:: Christopher Gaynor, Kate Hamilton, Theresa Hickey, Janet D. Johnson,
Peg Paolino and Sherri Stepakoff.
This June 27th celebration will also showcase a musical performance by the Notable Works’ Ensemble, premiering new works by Notable Works’ Artist and Residence Noreen Inglesi and special guest composer and performer Mary Zema. Whether you are a passionate supporter of the arts or simply curious about local environmental efforts, this event promises to offer something special for everyone. We look forward to your presence as we unite in celebration and inspire each other to make a lasting impact.
