This quarterly reading series, now in its 8th year, celebrates Connecticut's diverse voices. We begin with a poet from Rockville High School's award-winning creative writing program, then feature published poets from around the state. The afternoon ends with an open mike, refreshments and book signing.
Featured Poets: Vernon native Emily Hockaday and her former collegiate professor, Bruce Cohen of Mansfield.
