Judy Hoyer Poetry Reading and Book Launch

April 2, 2023 - Wayland resident Judy Hoyer’s poetry collection, Imagine That, published by FutureCycle Press in February 2023, will be the feature at a poetry reading on Sunday, April 2 at 3:00 pm at The Wayland Public Library. She will be introduced by Heather Treseler, poet, essayist, and professor of English at Worcester State University.
"In a rich, wide-ranging, keenly observed, carefully developed collection, Hoyer deploys telling details - always expressed in fresh, crisp, startlingly precise language - to bring worlds of feeling into focus."
