Signage

Poems from Here with Maine Poet Laureate Stuart Kestenbaum

Today’s poem is “Signage” by Gretchen Berg. Gretchen is a performance artist/educator and writer. She is the lead teaching artist for Portland’s Side X Side, works in rural Maine schools through the Local Stories Project, and teaches performance courses at Bates College.She writes, “I collect fortunes and I love driving around, especially around Waterford where I first lived when I moved to Maine in the 70’s. The drive in this love poem is (pretty much) for real & the signs along the way mark and foretell my life.”
