APRIL PAL Meeting: WA State Poet Laureate Derek Sheffield

Please join PAL as celebrated poet, professor, and WA State Poet Laureate Derek Sheffield visits his home town, Gig Harbor, for a very special monthly meeting to celebrate National Poetry Month. Sheffield will speak about the intersection of poetry, nature, and art -- and share some of his poetic works paired with the artwork of a few PAL members.

Sheffield lives in the Wenatchee Valley and serves as a professor of English at Wenatchee Valley College. He has published several poetry collections and edits poetry for Terrain.org, and has also received fellowships from the Sustainable Arts Foundation, Artist Trust, the Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest, and the Spring Creek Foundation for his poetry.

As always, coffee and beverages, and snacks! PAL meeting are FREE to all. Guests welcome.
