Sunday, May 11, 1:00-3:00 pm is the day that Ken Waldman makes his first Leavenworth appearance in more than four years as he returns to A Book for All Seasons. There, Waldman will play fiddle, read poems from some of his recent collections, tell stories, and sign copies of books and CDs.
"Waldman, a former college professor and Philadelphia native, moved to Alaska twenty years ago and has been a traveling minstrel for more than ten years. He brings his instruments, a few fellow musicians, and his poems about surviving a plane crash (locals once called him 'a walking dead man'), watching grizzlies feed in a garbage dump, and other adventures in the forty-ninth state."
- The New Yorker, "Above and Beyond" (January, 2006)
"Picture William Carlos Williams behind a dogsled. Walt Whitman jamming with the Carter Family." - Michael Miller, music columnist for The State in Columbia, South Carolina.
To Live on This Earth was Waldman's second collection of poems and his poetry touches everything from humor to seduction the range in his poetry covers everything humor to elegies, from storytelling to politics. Waldman is a true original.
