"In February 2024, the poet Stephen Hancock embarked on a remarkable journey, writing a poem every day. He presented his twenty-nine new poems for the first time at the Isis Farmhouse on Tuesday evening, April 30th, 2024.
"He is such a great orator, his voice flowed from the kind and tender to fierce and humorous. The audience was captivated. The room resonated with a palpable sense of harmony and tenderness."
Virginie Lacroix
