In
a world where language has been turned into a weapon by many, Wordfest is happy
to present it as a tool for healing, for creating beauty, for conveying
creative ideas, and for moving us into that most valued though without-price
commodity: imagination. Enjoy tonight's poets, storytellers, and writers as
they fill in the empty spaces of the everyday world with mystery, music, and
loving attention to what makes life worth living.
