Unleash your inner Yeats at The Poets Corner Soiree,(115 Empire St., Providence) oh what larks await us there where creative souls gather night after night under an inky sky to recite sonnets besmirched by twilight musings.

Venture further into Warren (RI 02885)a place less known, but steeply imbued with artistic virtuosityhome to galleries that march to the rhythm of a different drum.
Seek solace amidst the walls of Trinity Repertory Company (201 Washington St. Providence), where theatrical spectacles evocative of bygone eras transport us to faraway lands; and rejoice at WaterFire Festivals (4 N Main St.) flames that dance like moths before vanishing into oblivion upon silent waterways.
