Theodore Enslin reads at Bates College
from Gary Lawless . . .
Theodore Enslin will read from his poems on Monday, Nov. 30, 730 PM at Skelton Lounge of Chase Hall, Bates College, Lewiston.
Ted has lived in Maine since the 1950’s, first in Temple and now in Milbridge. He has published 118 books of poetry, contributed poems to innumerable poetry journals, and now has available a 20-cd collection of his reading of his own poems.
On a personal note, Ted has been a poet to read, a generous mentor and a kind friend to me since the very early 1970s. He has always been very generous with his poems to those of us trying to start small poetry journals and presses, and very supportive to anyone asking him to send poems, to come and read, or just to make suggestions of who or what to read.Ted keeps saying that this will be his last book, that this will be his last reading. I hope that for this rare reading, people will come out and listen as a way of honoring his work.
-Gary Lawless
