Of Hartford in Many Lights - Celebrating Hartford's Buildings

Of Hartford in Many Lights includes poems by contemporary Connecticut poets inspired by particular buildings in the capital city. If there is a poetic muse that imbues this book, it is that of Wallace Stevens, the insurance executive who was Hartford's greatest 20th century poet. The title of the anthology, "Of Hartford in Many Lights," is a play on the Stevens poem "Of Hartford in a Purple Light." In addition to the poems, Deborah Ducoff-Barone and Dennis Barone have added short essays about each of the structures the poets described. The result is a fascinating look at an historic and interesting city.
