A prime feature of Glastonbury's "On the Green" Festival, this ekphrastic reading features Poets Laureate Frederrick-Douglass Knowles (Hartford), Ryan Parker (Manchester), Bessy Reyna (Bolton) and Andrea Barton (Glastonbury). Other poets are Elizabeth Thomas, Jackie Killelea, Vicki Nordlund, Mark Busa, Mary Rose Meade, and Jerome Francis Lusa.
