Free Poetry Workshop

Here's something you don't see every day in the Wyoming Valley. Wilkes University is hosting a free poetry writing workshop. And they have chosen a very fine poet to teach it.

Tim Seibles, a nominee for the National Book Award in 2012, will be presenting in the Kirby Hall Salon from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Mr. Seibles has published in a number of the best literary journals and is a professor of creative writing at Old Dominion University.

You can read a few of his poems using the Amazon "look inside" feature here: http://www.amazon.com/Fast-Animal-Tim-Seibles/dp/0983294429/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1/175-3373085-2599231

Even more interesting, his book was published by the Etruscan Press which is a part of the Wilkes Creative Writing Department. According to the Times Leader, three Etruscan Press publications have been finalists for the National Book Award.

So think of spending your Valentine's Day afternoon thinking about poetry!
