SCOTT
PRESQUE ISLE — The University of Maine at Presque Isle will celebrate the publication of adjunct faculty member Anthony Dolan Scott’s new poetry collection with a reading and book signing with the poet on Wednesday, April 6 at 7 p.m. in the Campus Center.
The public is invited to attend this special event, which will include a reception featuring light refreshments, and wine available through a cash bar.
Scott’s new book, “The Year Things Came Apart,” being released this spring by Maine Authors Publishing, is informed by personal experience, when “a fundamentalist pastor is faced with a series of troubles and is left with the question of what to do with a faith too rigid to heal his grief.”
Scott teaches writing at UMPI and has an MFA from Wilkes University. His poetry and fiction have been published in Echoes magazine, Upcountry literary journal, The Star-Herald, and The Write Life. He finds the rivers and rocks, the dark spruce and white snow all ideal settings for creating, and plans to spend the rest of his life writing and teaching in Maine.
All are encouraged to attend this special evening with the author. The April 6 event will include a reading and question-and-answer session by the author, followed by a book signing. There will also be a reception featuring light refreshments, and wine available through a cash bar. Copies of “The Year Things Came Apart” will be on display and for sale during the event.
