South Windsor Poet Laureate, Steve Straight.
April 27, 2023
at 7pm

“Steve Straight is a poet of everyday experience whose disarmingly casual voice can lead the reader into deeper waters of insight and modest epiphanies. Every one of the poems in The Almanac achieves that rare thing in the streets of contemporary poetry: they are just plain interesting.” —Billy Collins, former Poet Laureate of the United States
