The Bards Are Coming!

And so is the festival... I got a glimpse of the upcoming lineup and am I thrilled! A truly international festival with Caribbean and European selections. My poets with their diverse backgrounds bring different styles to the anthology as we put fingers to the keyboards for the finishing touches.
