What kind of lure do you need to get Wisconsinites out of the house in the dead of winter to hear a poetry reading? Cheese, apparently. This year the Winter Festival of Poetry series has adopted “The Big Cheese” as its theme, with each session of the eight-week series featuring a different cheese. Still, it's all about the poets. The final week features readings by F. J. Bergmann, Sharon Rook Daly, Rose Heflin, Kristian Iliev, Freesia McKee and Alison Townsend.
press release: The 2023 Winter Festival of Poetry, a weekly series of poetry readings, will take place on Sunday afternoons, beginning at 2:00 p.m. and ending around 3:30 p.m. It will again be held at the Arts & Literature Lab, 111. S. Livingston Street in Madison, Wisconsin. Admission is free. The theme this year is uniquely Wisconsin: The Big Cheese. Each week a different variety of cheese will be featured and fun facts about cheese presented! For more information, contact James P. Roberts at JRob52162@aol.com or call 608-242-7340.
