Poetry Reading in New Smyrna Beach

March 8, 2025

How nice it will be to read my poetry in person instead of on Zoom. Please join me — especially if you feel like spending some time at the beach earlier in the afternoon (tracking in sand is allowed).

I’ll be the guest poet at the Hub on Canal, 132 Canal Street, New Smyrna Beach. There will also be an open mic for a local poetry group.

Admission is $8 (come on, you’ve spent that much on coffee), and I’ll be selling my books, too.

“Terry Godbey’s poems are carefully deployed, personally revealing, and shamelessly boy-crazy. In the best of them, she leads the reader through the doors of adolescence and into the house of poetry.” — Billy Collins
