Poetry Night

Poetry Night on Thursday, Dec. 3, 5:30-7:00 p.m. at the Coffee Attic in Iowa Falls will honor Iowa Falls native poet Rebecca Bell. Poetry Night welcomes all lovers of poetry to attend its monthly gatherings and this month poets who had work published by CSS Publications are especially encouraged to attend and read their poems.

Iowa Falls native, Rebecca Bell is synonymous with poetry. This accomplished poet also published 14 poetry books through her company CSS Publications. She sponsored poetry contests and workshops that attracted participation from across the United States and overseas. Rebecca selected the best entries for publication with many written by Central Iowans poets.

To honor Rebecca, who passed away in the prime of life, Poetry Night invites poets published in any of Rebecca Bell’s poetry books to come read their poems. Those who knew Rebecca are also encouraged to attend and read some of Bell’s work. Anyone attending the Dec. 3 Poetry Night will receive a collection of CSS books at no charge. The CSS books are on display on both levels of the Coffee Attic, 604 Washington Ave., Iowa Falls. Rebecca’s parents, Marion and Gladys Bell are downsizing and will offer the few remaining books free to poetry lovers.

Poetry Night is sponsored by Ellsworth Community College, Iowa Valley Continuing Education, and the Coffee Attic on the first Thursday of each month, 5:30-7:00 p.m. at the Coffee Attic, 604 Washington Ave., Iowa Falls. People are always welcome to come and listen. There is no charge. For more information, call Deb Sabin, Iowa Valley Continuing Education at 641-648-8621.
