Reuben Jackson, Elizabeth Hazen, and More Read at Kensington Day of the Book [CANCELED]

With Reuben Jackson and Nancy Naomi Carlson cast as the masters of ceremonies, and with readings by Elizabeth Hazen, Doritt Carroll, Robert L. Giron, and more, the Kensington Day of the Book Festival 2020 is not to be missed.

This event is canceled or suspended. 

From their website:

“The title of the late poet/critic Kenneth Koch’s essay on the work of Frank O’Hara — “All the Imagination Can Hold” — is also a perfect description of the poetry to be featured at this year’s annual Kensington Day of the Book Festival.  Free verse, metered ruminations, youthful and seasoned voices… bring your imagination…your family…your friends… They will thank you!”
