NARROWSBURG, NY — The Upper Delaware Writers Collective (UDWC) will present a reading and book launch with Pennsylvania poet Kathleen Galvin Grimaldi, who will read from her new book of poems, “Life’s Glorious Song,” on Saturday, February 20. The event is free, and will take place in the Krause Recital Hall, Delaware Arts Center, 37 Main St., at 2 p.m. A book signing and wine reception will follow the reading.

Of the volume, UDWC director Mary Greene writes, “Every poem is a gem, written by a poet at the top of her game—a tried and true woman who trusts in the ‘music of a deeper dream’ to inform these meditations on love, loss, time passing and the temple of the natural world.”

Grimaldi was raised in New England, but migrated to New York to teach school and raise a family in the Bronx. Since losing her husband several years ago, she divides her time between Northeast Pennsylvania and a cabin in Connecticut. Her first book of poems, “like smoke rising, like wind,” was published in 2011.
