NARROWSBURG, NY — The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) presents a reading and book signing with poet Ken Hada on Saturday, August 6 at 4 p.m. in the Krause Recital Hall, 37 Main St., second floor. The event is free and will be followed by a wine reception.

Hada’s straightforward, lyrical voice draws substance from the natural world as he meditates on subjects such as work, aging, stillness, fishing and spirituality. The river is a central feature of Hada’s work, and one of the books on sale will be “The River White,” with color illustrations by the poet’s brother, Duane Hada.

Hada is a professor at East Central University in Ada, OK where he directs the annual Scissortail Creative Writing Festival. In addition to multiple journal publications, his work has been featured four times on NPR’s “The Writer’s Almanac.”
