 This year marks the first year of River Union Stage’s involvement with one of Hunterdon County’s premier cultural events, the annual Delaware Valley
Poetry Festival on October 6, 2006 at the Old Stone Church in Kingwood Township, NJ
The Delaware Valley Poetry Festival, in its ninth year, features nationally known poets giving free
public readings from their works. It is held at the Old Stone Church in Kingwood Township, near Frenchtown. Organized by local newspaper editor and writer Nicholas DiGiovanni, its roster of
outstanding poets has included a U.S. poet laureate, two winners of the Pulitzer Prize and three National Book Award winners, giving area residents a rare opportunity to hear and interact with some of the
nation’s top writers.
The partnership between RUS and the Delaware Valley Poetry Festival reflects their shared goal of
increasing community involvement in the arts.
The Delaware Valley Poetry Festival has featured an
array of America's finest poets since its inception in 1998. Click the poet’s name below to view biographical information and samples of works by the festival's featured poets, including Diane
