2007 Marks Hill-Stead's 16th Year of Poetry Programming!

Plan on joining us for an exciting poetry and music weekend, September 14, 15 & 16, 2007. Galway Kinnell will be among the poets reading on the museum's grounds.
A day-by-day schedule will be posted on www.hillstead.org by May, 2007.

Hill-Stead's Poet-in-Residence programs continue in partnership with A.I. Prince Technical High School and the Hartford Classical Magnet High School. Please see below.

No summer series will be held in 2007 due to planning and adjustments.
Fundraising and program development are underway!

Winter-Spring 2007
Schools Poet-in-Residence

Cindy Cormier, Director of Education and Curatorial Services. Pit Pinegar, Director of Poetry School Program. Minority poets deliver seven classroom experiences per school; students write their own verse and develop their style and voice. Pending additional bus funding, the students will visit Hill-Stead for an on-site lesson and outdoor experience. These school programs are funded in part by Aetna Foundation.

Hill-Stead Director Linda Steigleder and Cindy Cormier are consulting with Alison Meyers, Rennie McQuilken, Vivian Shipley and others on reshaping the museum's poetry programs. If you want to help, please make a charitable donation. Attention: Poetry Programs, Hill-Stead Museum, 35 Mountain Road, Farmington, CT 06032. Thank you!
