Many thanks to everyone who made the 2025 Haiku Newton project a wonderful success.
The celebratory reading on June 9 was a high point of the season. Co-directors Grey Held and Elizabeth Lund were delighted to welcome more than 60 attendees.
Fifteen winners attended the event and read their work to the enthusiastic audience. Among the readers were two student poets and the grandmother of another student writer.
The signs were displayed at the Library for several weeks. Half of the signs were then moved to the Boys and Girls Club, 675 Watertown Street. The others were installed at First Baptist Church in Newton Centre, 848 Beacon Street.
In late July, half of the signs were moved to Little Luke's Cafe, 1225 Chestnut Street, Newton Upper Falls, The signs remained on display until late August.
Many thanks to everyone who made this year's project so special.
