Czury’s own poetry is multi-faceted\, dark and dug up f rom way down deep\, coming as it does from his early years growing up in t he declining anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania’s northeast. “I write from my abandoned spaces\, my broken windows\, my dying towns\, my way of knowing that something is lost\,” he says. Czury did not stay in the coal region\, but hitchhiked across the US for fifteen years in his youth\, and later traveled across the globe as a featured poet at International Poetr y Festivals. He is also an editor\, publisher\, and tireless arts advocate \, and the author of over 20 books of poetry.\n\nCzury currently lives and writes for some of the year in his native Pennsylvania and the other part of the year writing and teaching in Europe. The Poetry Reading will featu re selections from his published books as well as new work written in Gree ce\, Lithuania and Albania.\n\nNo writing experience is necessary to take part in the Life-Writing Workshop\, which will be held Sunday\, March 22\, 2020 at The Chenango Arts Council at 27 West Main Street in Norwich.
