I am pleased to announce that I received Honorable Mention in the 7th Annual Mulberry Poets and Writers Association Regional Poetry Contest for my poem “Life’s Too Short.” I will be part of a reading to celebrate the awards on Saturday, June 7 at AFA Gallery, 514 Lackawanna Ave., Scranton, PA at 7:30 p.m.
I will be reading at the South Street Gallery in Waymart, PA on Sunday, June 22 at 2:00 p.m.
I will participate in a group reading with the Upper Delaware Writers Collective at Grey Towers in Milford, PA in July. Check back for further details about this special event at the beautiful estate of Gifford Pinchot, founder of the modern conservation movement and the American forestry service.
I was honored to have been the recipient of the Betty June Silconas Poetry Center 2006 Judge’s Award for my poem “Bittersweet.” It was published, along with “Offering” and “October Morning," in Poets from the Center, the awards anthology. Martin Farawell, associate director of the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Program, was the judge for the contest. In March, I read my work, along with other poets who were included in the anthology, to a gracious and large crowd in the Atrium of the new arts building at Sussex County Community College. Thanks to Sally, Anthony, Joe, Diana, and of course, my biggest fan, Patrick, for their support.
