Ken Waldman has drawn on his 23 years in Alaska to produce poems, stories and fiddle tunes that combine into a performance uniquely his own. Ken will be in Eagle County from October 18-20 to visit schools through the generous sponsorship of the Vilar Center and Vail Valley Foundation. Tuesday evening, October 19, as part of the residency, Ken will perform a free public show at the Avon branch of the Eagle Valley Library District. And we'll be there!
A former college professor, Waldman has published six full-length poetry collections, a memoir, and has released seven CDs that combine old-time Appalachian-style string-band music with original poetry. Since 1994 he’s worked full-time as Alaska’s Fiddling Poet, performing at some of the nation’s leading universities, festivals, arts centers, and clubs. Over 400 of his poems and stories have appeared in such journals as Beloit Poetry Journal, Chariton Review, Quarterly West, and Yankee.
