In this new, original play by Terri Klein and Pat Hale, a routine
tour of the Hill-Stead is derailed by the chance placement of an
Ouija board, so that the spirits of poets whose work is found on the
library shelves appear, angling for a chance to read in the Sunken
Garden Poetry Festival. Presented as a staged reading.
