Betty June Silconas Poetry Center
The Betty June Silconas Poetry Center (BJS) honors the memory of Betty June Silconas, a Sparta resident, who celebrated life in her poems. The joy and love she had for family, friends, and her home are evident in her work. Ms. Silconas never sought to be recognized. She wrote for the bliss she experienced as she chronicled the events in her life: seasons, celebrations, and her spirituality. Thanks to a generous donation from her family, the Center is a place where anyone can come to read and write poetry. Sponsored events such as readings and workshops are also held.
