Ashford Poet Laureate
The Ashford Arts Council is happy to celebrate Anthony Paticchio’s another year as our Poet Laureate. The Ashford Board of Selectmen has appointed him as the Town of Ashford’s Poet Laureate for a second 3-year term.
During the past few years I have participated in a number of live and virtual readings. I have also had a number of my own poems published in online and print journals both here and abroad. I hosted my first poetry workshop last October. Over the course of three Saturdays, six of us met at the Ashford Senior Center to read and discuss favorite poems, looking closely at the ways successful poems employ language, form, rhythm, and sound to convey emotion and meaning. I’m planning a second workshop this Spring. I look forward to sharing my love of poetry with you all
