This hour, we’re joined by Connecticut-based poets who will share how their work challenges dominant narratives and amplifies voices from the margins.

GUESTS:
- Barb Jennes: Director of Poetry in the Garden at Keeler Tavern Museum, Ridgefield’s Poet Laureate Emerita from 2020-2023
- Joan Kwon Glass: Korean American poet, author of poetry collection: “Daughter of Three Gone Kingdoms”
