Northshire Bookstore Event: Scudder Parker on “The Poem of the World”

(Manchester Center, VT) On Friday, July 19 at 5:30 pm, Northshire Bookstore will host an evening with poet Scudder Parker to discuss his latest collection of poetry, The Poem of the World. 

Praise for The Poem of the World:

“Throughout his work, line by line, Parker composes a hymnal to the natural world and the people around him, as he explores his companionship with them.”  — Kerrin McCadden, author of American Wake

“Looking back helps move us forward in The Poem of the World by Scudder Parker. An exploration of inheritance through memories of family history and a layering of reflections on the past, Parker builds his own self-creation story.” — Sarah Audsley, author of Landlock X

Praise for Safe as Lightning, winner of the Independent Publishers of New England (IPNE) Award for Best Poetry

“Anyone reading Scudder’s poems knows how special it feels to be home in Vermont. One can read and re-read them and feel the comfort of home.” — U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy

SCUDDER H. PARKER grew up on a family farm in North Danville, Vermont. He’s been a Protestant minister, state senator, utility regulator, candidate for Governor, consultant on energy efficiency and renewable energy, and is settling into his ongoing work as a poet.
