Cathy is too modest to mention she is opening for Angela.

They are both worth hearing, and the venue is wonderful in the slightly spooky sense that it sometimes feels like Frost is still there.

Thanks, Cathy, for this announcement--I just found it! It was pleasure to meet you and to read with you! Mike is right--the Frost Farm is both lovely and a little spooky--all the more reason to love being there. I was grateful for the warm welcome from the Hyla Brook poets!
