A Community of Poets

The museum will host Linda Blaskey, Gail Braune Comorat, Wendy Elizabeth Ingersoll and Jane C. Miller for a reading of their poems and a discussion of how their friendship over the years has helped them in their writing. 

During the summer weeks, these award winning Delaware poets spend most of their days writing by the Chester River at a family farm.  They use their evenings for fellowship and encouragement, and to read some of their day’s labor. It is one of the highlights of the year for these four friends who have formed a unique bond through the power of words. They have collected the product of the past decade into a book to honor the sense of place they have received from the Ingersoll family farm. The book is entitled “Walking the Sunken Boards”.
