The ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes (The ARTS Council) invites you to &ldquo\;Poets in Play\,&rdquo\; featuring Lafayette Wattles on Tuesday\, November 14 from 7-9pm.
\n\nJoin us for the in-person at the Kaleidoscope Society at 44 Bridge St. in Corning. The ARTS Council will provide light refreshments and coffee. A live stream of this event through Zoom will be available. *Please see Zoom information below.
\n\nAn open mic session will follow Lafayette'\;s reading. Poets are encouraged to read one poem based on Lafayette'\;s prompt or something of their own selection.
\n\nPrompt: "\;Once we were old enough\, they&rsquo\;d pack the car each summer and call us vagabonds\, which\, for the longest time\, we thought was bag-of-ponds\, and we loved it because we saw ourselves as something splashable and fun . . .&rdquo\;
\n\n\;
\n\nAbout Lafayette Wattles:
\n\nSome people are born writers. Lafayette Wattles was not one of those people. After he finally came around and discovered the wonders of the word\, he decided to become a writer in the hopes of sharing those wonders with others. Lafayette Wattles was the name of his great-great-grandfather\, a full-blooded Sioux. When he decided to become a writer\, he wanted to honor that part of his past as a way to celebrate this new adventure\, so he adopted the name for his writer self. Lafayette recently published his chapbook "\;Hurricane\,"\; (Foothills Publishing\, 2022) about his experience during the Hurricane Agnes Flood of 1972 in Elmira and Corning. He has published over 140 poems in print and online journals including "\;Boxcar Poetry Review\,"\; "\;The Louisville Review\,"\; "\;Hunger Mountain\,"\; and "\;Cicada."\;
