Each evening, two poets read their own works and favorite poems by other writers. The selection of highly distinguished participating poets include current and past Poet Laureates as well as recipients of Pulitzer, Juniper, and Pushcart prizes and coveted awards such as the T.S. Elliot and Edgar Allen Poe Awards and Lamont Poetry Selection by The Academy of American Poets.
