Workshop on Writing Poetry and Prose in Randolph
There will be a workshop about writing poetry and prose from everyday life at the Randolph Free Library on March 29, 2016 at 6:30PM.
Ruggieri has an MFA in poetry writing from Penn State and studied with the late William Stafford at the Atlantic Center for the Arts. She taught at the University of Pittsburgh, Bradford, PA for 20 years and currently teaches a poetry workshop for the African American Center for Cultural Development in Olean, NY, and coordinates the reading series at the Olean Public Library.
Ruggieri's new book, The Kingdom Where No One Keeps Time, has been released by Mayapple Press, Woodstock, NY. George Bilgere said of the book. "reading Ruggieri's haunting meditations on the slow passing away of the things of this world, is like finding the lovely delicate bones of a creature you hadn't realized was long extinct. Again and again she reminds us to take note, to bear witness. Remember how beautiful it was to be here. "
