About Voices of Poetry:
VOP was formed by Pushcart Prize nominated poet and poetry activist Neil Silberblatt. VOP has organized and presented more than 150 poetry events in (now) four states: NY, NJ, CT and MA (mostly on Cape Cod). Those events – which have featured Poets Laureate and Pulitzer Prize winners/nominees, as well as those who have not (yet) published a word – have been presented at numerous venues, including Provincetown Art Association & Museum; Brewster Ladies’ Library; St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church, UU Meeting House and Eldredge Public Library in Chatham; and Sturgis Library in Barnstable. This past November, VOP was honored to present an event – featuring four Poets Laureate – at The Mount / Edith Wharton’s home in Lenox, MA. On May 10, 2019, VOP will be honored to present an event – featuring acclaimed poets – at The Rubin Museum of Art in NYC.

(From the event page):
Cindy will be reading from her debut poetry collection, Gloved Against Blood. She will also read a selection of new poems.
Gloved Against Blood explores the relationships of four generations of women against a backdrop of the patriarchal textile mills of 19th century Lowell, Massachusetts that were fueled by the blood and sweat of exploited mill girls and enslaved African-Americans in the south. This collection speaks to family, lost love, infidelities, abandonment and the close work, women’s work of mending what is torn and making it like new despite the forces of inherited histories.
