About this festival
Since 1992, audiences have enjoyed verse and music among the fragrant blooms of Hill-Stead Museum-s Sunken Garden. The performance series has featured the likes of Billy Collins, Yusef Komunyakaa, Maxine Kumin, Grace Paley, and many other nationally and regionally acclaimed poets. Festivities include a plein air café and bookstore and meet-the-poet opportunities. Bring your blankets, chairs, wine, and friends, and sink into the magic of the evening.
