Valley of the Poets Tours invites you to discover the poetic legacy of America’s four powerful poets of the past 350 years.  See where they lived, worked and wrote — places of inspiration, introspection and too often, pain of loss, misunderstanding and even possible threat to life.

Living in times of national and personal upheaval, these tenacious ladies and gentlemen forged ahead, leaving us their legacy of action, belief and words.
