Plum Reading

Writers and artists featured in the latest edition of Plum, the Greenfield Community College literary journal, will present their work at a reading celebrating the relaunch of the publication on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, at the Greenfield Public Library. The event begins at 6:00 PM in the Community Meeting Room with a viewing of art followed by the reading. The Greenfield Public Library is located at 412 Main Street in Greenfield, MA. Ample parking is available adjacent to the facility.

The publication of this edition of Plum marks the first time GCC has published the journal since before the COVID-19 pandemic. It features poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and visual arts in the print version, as well as electronic media and bonus material in the online version. “We are excited to bring back Plum,” says faculty advisor and editor Cindy Snow. “There are so many talented writers and artists in our community,” says Lindel Hart, one of three student editors. “We’ve included not only students from GCC but also employees and alumni, as well as members of our regional community.”

Some of the writers represented in this latest iteration of Plum will read their works at the event. In addition, visual art included in the journal will be on display that evening. The reading is open to the public and admission is free. Light refreshments will be available. Attendees will have an opportunity to meet the contributors to Plum following the presentation of excerpts from the journal.
