Richard Fox Poetry Series: David Thoreen

Now, the 1st Tuesday of every month, The Richard Fox Poetry Series is an open- mic with a featured reader. It honors the memory of the iconic Worcester poet and human-being extraordinaire Richard Fox.

Our next Featured Poet will be the very talented David Thoreen on June 3rd. Free admission. On-the-street parking. Root and Press Books and Cafe has an awesome array of food and beverages and an expanded book selection at their new location. Sign up for the open mic at joesyellowpad@gmail.com. Limited spots available. Sponsored by the ‘Fox Fund’ (Worcester County Poetry Association).

David Thoreen’s poems have appeared or are forthcoming in Verse Daily, Flint Hills Review, The Greensboro Review, New Ohio Review, The Paterson Review, and elsewhere. He won The Worcester Review’s Frank O’Hara Prize and has been a finalist in The Comstock Review’s Muriel Craft Bailey Memorial Poetry Contest. He teaches writing and literature at Assumption University. When it comes to sounds at four o’clock in the morning, he prefers the reassuring bang of a cast iron radiator or the haunting call of a barred owl to the breaking of glass or the high-rev whine of hot rods racing up and down Park Avenue
