Poetry & Performance with Darlene Witte

THIS SESSION:
Greg Delanty will read a variety of works including some selections from his latest book of poems, The Professor of Forgetting which was just reviewed in Seven Days. Delanty was born in 1958 in Ireland and lived in Cork until 1986, when he came to the U.S. Now a citizen of both nations, he lives most of the time in Burlington and occasionally returns to County Kerry. Since 1987, Delanty has taught literature at Saint Michael's College in Colchester, where he serves as poet-in-residence.

The Poetry & Performance workshop, led by Darlene L. Witte, works to bridge the gap between poetic words on a page and poetry read aloud. On the first and third Tuesdays of each month, we focus on the work of a feature poet presented live in a Zoom session. The group is invited to respond to the poetry and discuss the work. Sessions then progress to an Open Mic where anyone can share a poem of their own or one they have just taken a liking to.

Darlene Witte

Moving to Vermont in 1993 to become a professor of Education at Northern Vermont University brought her to a landscape far more physically, emotionally, and socially embracing than she knew. Vermont has become her new spiritual home. She blends this new, gentle, land-and-people-scape into her life-long internal vision, and she hopes you enjoy her poetry and workshop.
