Sunken Garden Poetry Festival

The Sunken Garden Poetry Festival got under way this past Wednesday evening. Pulitzer Prize winning poet Maxine Kumin inaugurated this summer's festival. We hear the poet read her poem "The Rendezvous" from the book "Looking For Luck." NPR's Weekend Edition will feature more poetry from the Sunken Garden every other week through August. (2:00)
