Author Talk/Haiku Workshop: Marshall James Kavanaugh

Falls of Schuylkill Library

Come on out to celebrate National Poetry Month with local author Marshall James Kavanaugh, who will share excerts from his book, Travel by Haiku: Vol. 6 - 10, Far Out on the Road with Friends. This book has been described as a "modern ode to the community found on the road, written by six navigators of its far reaches, over the course of three seperate road trips" - through the American Southwest, a jaunt up the Pacific Coast, and a trek into the Rockies ending  in Glacier National Park in Montana.

This program is part author talk, part Q & A, part haiku workshop, and attendees will be invited to get hands-on in writing their own poem story.

Kavanaugh is a dream laborer of words and various art forms used to create poetic dream spaces for his readership to explore. He has performed his own poetry at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, The Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia Contemporary and at teh Philadelphia International Airport.  He has published two collections of short stories, several small chapbooks of travel fiction, and a previous collection of haikus with the small press, A Freedom Books.

This program will take place from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m and is hosted by The Friends of Falls of Schuylkill Library.
