Ron Padgett
Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets, Padgett will read his poetry including some from his latest book, "How to Be Perfect." Entertainment Weekly writes, "Padgett's deceptively light poems muse on everyday items (English muffins; a toothbrush) exploring our desires and insecurities. A few rare long poems on major themes demonstrate Padgett's ambition."

By Stephen Massicotte. Seeking shelter in a barn from a thunderstorm, Mary and Charlie meet and fall in love.
