Of Hartford in Many Lights includes poems by contemporary Connecticut poets inspired by particular buildings in the capital city. If there is a poetic muse that imbues this book, it is that of Wallace Stevens, the insurance executive who was Hartford's greatest 20th century poet. The title of the anthology, "Of Hartford in Many Lights," is a play on the Stevens poem "Of Hartford in a Purple Light." In addition to the poems, Deborah Ducoff-Barone and Dennis Barone have added short essays about each of the structures the poets described. The result is a fascinating look at an historic and interesting city.
No open mic will precede this reading due to time constraints.
The anthology will be available to buy for book signing & conversation, and beer, wine, soft drinks, and snacks will be available for purchase.
