Anne Bradstreet: Founding Mother and First Poet

Memorial Hall Library will celebrate the 400th anniversary of the birth of poet Anne Bradstreet, early settler and founder of the new town of Andover.

Andover’s Susan Lenoe will enact Anne Bradstreet’s tumultuous life, one in which she raised eight children, wrote hundreds of pages of poetry, and supported her husband, Simon Bradstreet, in his public life as secretary and deputy governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
