Four poets will pay a virtual visit to the Shelter Island Library for a mini poetry festival on Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. Reading from their work via Zoom will be Fran Castan, Carole Stone, George Held, and Gladys Henderson.
The reading replaces what would have been an event “under a tent, with wine and cheese,” the organizer, Virginia Walker, a Shelter Island poet and professor, said in a release. Now you will have to imagine the pleasant setting, “but the poets will be real.”
Ms. Castan is a past Walt Whitman Birthplace Association Long Island poet of the year, Ms. Stone is professor emerita at Montclair State University, Mr. Held is the author of 22 collections of poems, and Ms. Henderson is a former Suffolk County poet laureate.
Registration is on the library’s website.
