Below are the links to the illustrated schedule for each day of the festival (followed by the, well, unillustrated schedule).
Once again, thanks to our fest team, Jiwon Choi and Linda Kleinbub with whom I booked the poets; KB Nemcosky, who is curating the poets theater; Peter Dizozza who selected the music; and Jim Behrle for the festival logo.
Hope to see you there.
as ever,
David
