America's 250: Exploring U.S. Poets Laureate

In-person & on Zoom with Poet-Teachers Margaret Hunt, Jim Kelleher & Tom Nicotera Moderated by Pat Mattola

Connecticut poets from around the state are participating in the Oliver Wolcott Library’s four-part discussion series celebrating U.S. Poets Laureate.

The exploration of important poets expands our understanding of ourselves, our community, and our country. What better way to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary than a survey of some of our most esteemed poets guided by current poets.  

The lens of the April 18 discussion will be “A Spirit of Independence” and will include poetry by Maxine Kumin, William Stafford and Joy Harjo.
