Join us for an evening of poetry with Scudder Parker. His first volume of poems, Safe as Lightning, was released in June 2020 by Rootstock Publishing. It won the award for “Best Poetry Book of 2020” by the Independent Publishers of New England. Scudder loves to share his poems in intimate settings such as the Deborah Rawson Public Library in Jericho. He looks forward to reading poems from his first collection as well as from the new, unpublished volume he is working on titled What We Share and Cannot Keep. Scudder considers poetry to be a process of exploration and connection and looks forward to feedback and discussion after his readings.
