HONESDALE, PA — The Upper Delaware Writers Collective (UDWC), which is marking its 20th anniversary this year, will host River Rocks PoJam and Benefit Auction on Friday, April 19 from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at The Cooperage.

The “Po” is poetry from writers in the region, and the “Jam” is the excitement of a silent auction as you bid on an array of goodies and treasures from Honesdale merchants including The Hanson Gallery & Decorium, Highlights for Children, Hotel Wayne and Milkweed, and from Narrowsburg merchants such as The River Gallery: The Art of Living, Enochian, Narrowsburg Fine Wines and Spirits, Gerard’s River Grille and Landers River Trips. Some local artists have also donated their work.

Indulge in some organic food and enjoy live acoustic fiddle and guitar music provided by Poison Love.

There is a $5 admission. All funds raised will benefit UDWC’s 20th Anniversary celebration, River Rocks Poetry Jamboree, to be held on May 18.
