Edited by Kwame Dawes, one of the founders of the festival and its program director, who has been largely responsible for the list of poets who have read at the festival. This anthology is at once a celebration of 10 years of a remarkable literary event as it is a gesture of love to seek ways to continue to fund and support this festival for the future. All profits from this publication will go toward the running of the festival, which remains free and open to the public.
