Join us for an evening of poetry. Our featured readers are Walter Bargen and Clarence Wolfshohl. Bring your own work to share at open mic.
Walter Bargen has published 29 books of poetry including: My Other Mother’s Red Mercedes (Lamar University Press, 2018), Until Next Time (Singing Bone Press, 2019), Pole Dancing in the Night Club of God (Red Mountain Press, 2020), You Wounded Miracle, (Liliom Verlag, 2021), Too Late To Turn Back (Singing Bone Press, April, 2023), Radiation Diary (Lamar University Press, 2023), and Orwell at the Kremlin (Spartan Press, 2024). He was appointed the first poet laureate of Missouri (2008-2009). His awards include: a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, Chester H. Jones Foundation Award, and the William Rockhill Nelson Award. He currently lives outside Ashland, Missouri, with his wife and too many cats.
Clarence Wolfshohl was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. He taught for forty-five years in Idaho, New Mexico, West Virginia, Texas, and Missouri, where he has lived for over forty years.
Since his first poem was published in 1969 in The Road-Apple Review, he has published in a wide variety of journals—print and online—being nominated for a Pushcart several times. Among his publications are a dozen chapbooks, the most recent being Play-Like (Alien Buddha Press, 1925) and Mythus Antiquus and Lo, the Gods (a 2-in-1 chapbook, El Grito del Lobo Press, 1925). He also founded and operated both Timberline Press (1975-2010) and El Grito del Lobo Press (2010--), handcrafting (from typesetting to binding) 110 books under those imprints.
Interesting fact: I am the only person I know who has hit a ground-rule triple in an organized league baseball game.
