Description: April is National Poetry Month. It’s a time to celebrate poets and their craft. So we asked Hartford’s poet laureate, Frederick-Douglass Knowles II, if he would share his talent and his thoughts about why poetry matters, especially right now. Frederick-Douglass is Hartford’s inaugural poet laureate — named in 2018. He’s a professor of English at Three Rivers Community College in Norwich, and the author of BlackRoseCity . He’s also a recipient of the Nutmeg Poetry Award, and the 2020 Connecticut of The Arts Fellow in Artist Excellence for Poetry and Creative Non-Fiction.
