    What an excellent event and effort to support the arts. I appreciate the Greenwood Library's dedication to these events. Very excited to see my dear friend, George Kalamaras, included. What a talented poet, and enlightened soul, right here in Indiana. We are so lucky to have all of these writers. Thank you!
