Compiled by Bruce Elliott (Booklet #6, January 1999)

This collection of poetry is taken from the archives of the Society. Some have been published in books, pamphlets or newspapers, some have not. Some are by residents of Henniker, others are about Henniker but by non-resident poets. The selections come from various eras of Henniker's 237-year history. Illustrative art work was added from advanced drawing students at John Stark Regional High School in 1998. The drawing at the right, by Sarah Bolton, illustrated the poem The Old Attic and adorns the front cover of this booklet.
