and national poets of all ages and levels of experience, on view from April
2 – May 2 in the main gallery (opening reception April 2, 7-9pm).


ALL has invited poets from around the state and around the country to take
part in our reading series.

Richie Havens.  Her recent solo recording is entitled Through the Storm,
