Join us for an afternoon with poets David Cavanagh, Sharon Webster, and Steven Ray Smith. We’ll be celebrating the launch of David’s new poetry collection, The Somnambulist and The Good Life.
David Cavanagh’s fifth book of poems, The Somnambulist and The Good Life, has just come out from Salmon Poetry of Ireland. His previous collections include Straddle, Falling Body, and The Middleman, all three from Salmon Poetry; and Cycling in Plato’s Cave from Fomite Press. He lives in Burlington, Vermont.
Sharon Webster is an interdisciplinary artist who works in any material she can get her hands on—including language—to create fresh renditions of vision and voice. Drawn to the intimate and the sensual, she is a frequent art exhibitor and was one of eight to recently represent Vermont in the Boston group show, Threaded: Contemporary Fiber Art in New England.
Sharon is also ensconced in the colorfully diverse work of helping developmentally challenged adults live normal lives, and has done so since the ’80s. Her book, Everyone Lives Here, is on sale today.
Steven Ray Smith’s poetry has been published in The Yale Review, Southwest Review, The Kenyon Review, Slice, Barrow Street, THINK, Tar River Poetry, Poet Lore and others. New work is forthcoming in The Hollins Critic. He lives in Austin.
