FROM FACEBOOK__The Bluffton Public Library will host Laurin Wolf, Allen County Poet Laureate, for the program First American Voices: Whitman & Dickinson, the Poetry of a Blooming Nation at 6:00 p.m. on April 28.

Listen to a lecture by the Allen County Poet Laureate on the uniquely American voices that emerged in early 19th-century America. Through the lens of a reclusive and a former Civil War nurse, we can understand what America was becoming and where poetic voice broke open. Experience a step back into the beginnings of American poetry and come to hear poems read aloud.

Laurin Wolf is the Allen County Poet Laureate. She holds an MFA from Kent State University and a BA from the University of Pittsburgh, both in poetry writing. Her chapbooks include: come back mother (Dancing Girl Press 2020), and about staying in (Finishing Line Press 2018). She teaches at Rhodes State College.
