Poetry reading with Poets Richard Hawley of Ripton, VT and Robert Williams of Pittsfield, VT.
Sunday, September 7th at 5pm, refreshments to follow

Richard Hawley is a writer of fiction, poetry, and literary non-fiction, he has published fifteen books and several monographs. His essays, articles and poems have appeared in dozens of literary, scholarly, and commercial journals, including The New York Times, The Atlantic Monthly, American Film, Commonweal, America Orion, and The Christian Science Monitor and is represented in many literary anthologies. For ten years he taught fiction and non-fiction writing at The Breadloaf Writers Conference in Vermont, and he continues to teach developing writers in a variety of settings. Recent work, including work in progress, draws increasingly from depth psychology and classical philosophy to illuminate contemporary problems.

On September 7th at BigTown Gallery Richard will be reading from a new series of interconnected poems about experiencing an angel. It is both playful and serious, taking on such notions as the reality of angels and what one can finally know about love, sex, death, and one's tiny, uncertain place in the world.


Robert Williams spent his formative years on a small farm in east Tennessee, at the foothills of Appalachia. He received his B.S in civil engineering from the University of Tennessee, trained as a jet fighter pilot at the end of the Korean War, received a BA at the Harvard Graduate school of design and found the magic of Vermont in the early 60s where he made his home and now resides with his wife Annabelle. Mr Williams is an avid sailor, spending 6 months each winter sailing westward around the world with his wife of 28 years. During the summer and fall he and Annabelle return to Vermont where he works in his on-going practice of architecture as senior partner. Many of his poems in mood and content are inspired by his reverence for sea and sky and the changing season in the mountains of Vermont. His work draws heavily from his life's considerable experiences, both his early years on the farm and his studied observations of human frailty and renewal. - Edwin Mellen Press

Robert will be reading from his 2003 publication Low Sweet Notes and recent poems.
