Highlights of Kingston WritersFest 2011
The 2011 Festival was truly international in scope, focusing on friendships, creative cross-pollination, and the many ways that books can bring us together. More than sixty authors joined us for intimate readings, rousing discussions, and brilliant performances of their work. To get a sampling—and a taste of pleasures to come in 2012—download last year’s Program-At-A-Glance or full program, see the photo gallery or listen to a podcast below.
