Poetry Reading in Celebration of National Poetry Month

Poetry Reading in Celebration of National Poetry Month In-Person

Join Delaware poet Linda Blaskey, recipient of three Fellowship Grants in Literature (poetry),  local poets Steve Lewandowski and Angela Cannon-Crothers for a poetry reading in celebration of National Poetry Month. 

Linda's work has been selected for inclusion in the national anthology Best New Poets, and for the North Carolina Poetry on the Bus project. She is the author of the prizewinning chapbook, Farm, the full-length collection, White Horses, and co-author of Walking the Sunken Boards, and Season of Harvest. Linda spent her childhood on the plains of Kansas and in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas.  She now lives in Sussex County, Delaware on a small horse and goat farm.

Stephen Lewandowski has retired after a forty year career with various conservation agencies while publishing fifteen large and small books of poetry and essays. His most recent is Hard Work in Low Places, a collection of poems published by Tiger Bark Press in Rochester, NY. He hopes his poetry will interest students of natural history, biological sciences, geology, watersheds and macroinvertebrates. He has spent the majority of his life in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York whose preservation and protection he alternately desires and despairs. A new book of his poems, Ground Truth, Poems from the Field, will be published in 2024.

Angela Cannon-Crothers is a naturalist, digger of roots, weaver of wild baskets, and sparker of fires. Her most recent book, Changing Seasons in The Finger Lakes, won the Cayuga Lake Books Award for Creative Prose in 2019. Her other books include The Wildcrafter (a novel), Our Voices, Our Wisdom; An Herb Haven Year, and Grape Pie Season (a children’s story told in verse illustrated by Darryl Abraham). She was the 2011 Finalist for the AROHO Orlando Competition in Creative Non-fiction. Her poetry has appeared in Bluff & Vine, The Common, and The Finger. Her stories, essays and articles have appeared in many regional and national magazines, and literary journals, including Orion, Stone Canoe, Mountain Home, and others. Her true story of being a cloud collector was included in A Mile In Her Boots, Women Who Work in the Wilds.
