wednesday 28 fighting words When General Pinochet’s agents ransacked Chilean poet Pablo Neruda’s bedroom just days after the dictator seized power in 1973, Neruda responded, “Words are the only weapons here.” Vermont versifiers also know that the pen is mightier than the sword when it comes to winning hearts and minds. Nine outstanding Vermont poets prove the point at a reading for peace. Vermont State Laureate Grace Paley shares the stage with Greg Delanty, David Budbill, Galway Kinnell, Jody Gladding, Diane Swan, Major Jackson, David Hinton and Martha Zweig. John Dunlop, principal cellist of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra, performs works by J.S. Bach. Photo-grapher Joel Preston Smith’s recent images from Iraq round out the artistic artillery. Poets For Peace Wednesday, July 28, City Hall Auditorium, Burlington, 7 p.m. Donations.
