ARMONK, N.Y. Sally Bliumis-Dunn, an Armonk poet who has published two books of poetry and teaches poetry at Manhattanville College, will conduct a poetry reading at the North Castle Public Library on April 15 at 3 p.m.
Bliumis-Dunn, who started writing poetry at the age of 10, published "Talking Underwater" in 2007 and "Second Skin" in 2009. The poems in the first book concern the difficulty of communication "It's like talking underwater," she said. The second book, "is more hopeful, about new beginnings and what you hold close like a second skin."
The poet's 24-year-old daugther, Angela Bliumis, took the photos for the book jackets.
Bliumis-Dunn's poetry, which has been published in The New York Times, the Paris Review and Poetry London, "is about sad and joyful things, the two ends of the spectrum," she said. "I also like to write about nature."
Bliumis-Dunn will read from both books and new work she plans to publish in a third book. She said she'll also take questions about the craft of writing poetry, teaching poetry to children and other subjects.
Aspiring poets and anyone who appreciates poetry are welcome to attend.
