The festival Poet At Large will appear for a special evening reading on Friday, January 24th, and also present to high school students throughout Palm Beach County during festival week. This year’s Poet At Large is Patricia Smith. We anticipate that this program will reach one of the largest festival audiences in our history. It is an honor to welcome Patricia Smith to the festival in this new role to reach an important festival audience including teachers and students beyond the walls of the Crest Theatre.
