The Dublin Community Center will hold an evening of poetry on Wednesday, May 18, from 7 to 8 p.m. Poets Henry Walters and Alexander Scalfano will be reading some of their works.
Walters was born in Chicago in 1984. He majored in Greek and Latin at Harvard College and has served apprenticeships in Sicily, Ghana, and Ireland. He is a naturalist, teacher, falconer, and poet. His writing has appeared in a variety of publications, and he keeps a blog about the natural world for “The Old Farmer’s Almanac.” He is the winner of Better Magazine’s 2014 prize for poetry, and his first collection of poems “Field Guide A Tempo” was a finalist for the 2016 Kate Tufts Discovery Award. He is the writer-in-residence at the Dublin School, where he works in and out of a small cabin he built himself.
Scalfano is originally from northern Alabama and graduated from UMass Amherst’s Master of Fine Arts in Poetry program. He now teaches English at the Dublin School. Some of his poems appear in H_NGM_N, smoking glue gun, Jellyfish and El Aleph.
There is a requested admission of $5.
