Featuring poet Dan Kantak.

A seasoned performance poet as well as a writer, Dan was Connecticut’s individual poetry slam champion in 1993. His poems and photographs display a love of different cultures and the natural world. Dan’s writing is highly accessible, but never simplistic.

Most recently Dan was a featured presenter and workshop leader at Hay Memorial Library’s 2023 Great Lakes Poetry Series “Art Inspires Poetry” in Sackets Harbor N.Y.

Dan’s newest book, A Rumor About Shooting Stars was published by Parson’s Porch Books. Parson’s Porch & Company turns books into bread and milk by sharing its profits with people in need.

Dan lives in Sackets Harbor N.Y., a historic village on the shore of Lake Ontario.

VSG’s Second Sunday Poetry and Music takes place every 2nd Sunday at the Gallery. Renowned poets and local talents alike will find a platform for their poetry, prose, spoken word, and acoustic performances creating a vibrant atmosphere of creativity and expression. By hosting these events, VSG aims to foster a sense of community and promote the art of poetry in Southbury and beyond. Whether you’re a seasoned poet, an aspiring writer, a storyteller, or simply a lover of the spoken word, mark your calendar for our open mic afternoons.
