Sanctuary, Vermont, the winner of the 2020 Orison Poetry Prize judged by Katie Ford, gives voice to present, past, and future residents of a richly imagined Vermont town. Laura Budofsky Wisniewski joins the lineage of Edgar Lee Masters, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Louise Glück in inhabiting and valorizing the extraordinary inner lives of everyday people. These townspeople endure hardships and loneliness, suffer injustice and racism, but still find moments of solace, beauty, and communion.

Join Addison County libraries and Laura Budofsky Wisniewski for a virtual reading or gather at the Starksboro Public Library for a watch party on the big screen. Refreshments served.

from Sanctuary, Vermont and discuss the poet's work and inspiration.
