Join us at the Grape Escape for an evening of poetry and discussion presented by two regional Poet Laureates, Jenna Goldsmith of Rockford, IL and Galena’s very own, Ted Williams.

In a conversational style, Ted and Jenna will discuss their poetical journeys, making an impact with the written word, and read from their work.

This is an in-person program presented at the Grape Escape. To register, please visit, www.galenalibrary.org.
