Bardic Trails Online Poetry Night: John Calderazzo

About

The Telluride Institute's Bardic Trails poetry night features an award-winning guest poet sharing their new and exciting work. The reading will be followed with a Q & A about the poet’s work and inspirations, with time afterwards for poetry sharing from attendees – a Gourd Circle of sharing whatever poetry attendees wish, or just listening in. The list of 2026 poets is below. The free Bardic Trails virtual Zoom series is on the first Tuesday of each month.
