Waucoma Bookstore will be hosting two poets at Dog River Coffee in Hood River on Monday, April 24, at 5:30 p.m.
David Romtvedt, poet laureate of the State of Wyoming, and Tom Crawford, of Santa Fe, N.M., will be reading from their published poetry from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Romtvedt teaches at the University of Wyoming and plays the button accordion with The Fireants, a band that focuses on traditional dance music of the Americas.
He is the author of Some Church, Certainty, Crossing Wyoming, and A Flower Whose Name I Do Not Know, which received the National Poetry Series Award.
Crawford lectured and taught at universities and colleges throughout the western United States, including Linfield College in Oregon. He taught three years in mainland China and five years in Korea, the setting or subject of most of his poems. He combines the spirituality of the East with his own American working class pragmatism as he explores the people, culture, and landscape of these countries.
He has been awarded several prestigious awards among them The Pushcart Prize for Poetry in 2002, and the Oregon Book Award in 1994. His published works include The Temple on Monday, China Dancing, and Lauds.
