Franco Pagnucci, Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, will be reading poems from "Again the Red Fox" followed by discussion and, if fellow poets stop by, an impromptu workshop.

Pagnucci's eighth poetry collection focuses on finding the awe in your life and the joy of exploring nature. Creatures such as the red fox who sometimes stop to interact with the poet are the main characters. Pagnucci celebrates life transcendent and draws readers into moments of awareness-morning light on a blue-black fisher, a river otter smacking her lips, or a kingbird twittering on the May air.
