Ostuni Outsider Festival

I had a wonderful time in September at the Outsider Festival in Ostuni, Italy, an event which was founded by Bolivian poet Norah Zapata-Prill. We read in public plazas, schools, a library, a cemetery, and many historic places with poets from Italy, France, Argentina, Bolivia, and me representing the U.S. Many new friends were made and I am grateful for the warmth and kindness of the Italian people.
