PoemTown Randolph continues this week with the grand finale live poetry reading this Saturday, April 25th, 7PM at Silloway Maple sugar house in Randolph Center (1303 Boudro Road). As in past years, this event features readings by several farmer poets organized by Taylor Mardis Katz. Katie Spring is a writer, mother, and co-creator of Good Heart Farmstead in Worcester, Vermont. She believes that creativity is as essential as food, and her writing is a testament to the ways that creativity nourishes us. Katie's newsletter, Art & Soil, explores how we grow a world of connection, belonging, and really good food. Sasha Hom is a text-based artist and was trained in fiction writing at Warren Wilson College where she earned her MFA. Her work can be found at The Millions, Kweli Journal, Literary Mama and elsewhere. Her first novella, Sidework, was a New Immigrant Writing Series selection published by Black Lawrence Press in March of 2025. After a decade of living in canvas tents in California, she and her partner and four children fled wildfires and are now goat farmers living in yurts on 600-acres of cooperatively owned land in Central Vermont. Mardis Katz is a poet, herb farmer, small-town grocer, and ordained minister living in Chelsea, Vermont, where she co-manages a shop, apothecary, farm, and homestead with her partner, Misha. Taylor's poems have been published in a variety of literary journals such as Barnstorm and the Connecticut Review, and featured on radio stations, podcasts, and in the Vermont Statehouse. The 2026 PoemTown Randolph anthology of this year's poems will be available for $15 at the reading. The event is free and open to the public. Silloway's famous maple creemees will be available for purchase at the conclusion of the reading.
