Author’s Night
Join us for February’s Friends of the Library’s Author’s Night on
Friday the 16th at Montage Cafe in downtown Greenville. Doors
open at 6:00 and the program starts at 7:00. Come early for a
nice supper and the groovy music of Bill Westfall and J.R. Price.
Poet Paul Tyx will delight us with readings from his recently published
book ...and I Laughed, poems of hope, love, friendship, and
family. Paul believes in poetry’s value in today’s world; writing
from the heart he never hides behind language but seeks to share our
common humanity, to be understood.
Born in 1953 in Cincinnati of a Polish-American family Paul left
college to embark on a search for life and God traveling through
America, working jobs, and writing at night. He says he delighted
in sampling his homeland in all its diversity. Finally making his
way back to Ohio he became a family man, worked at a sheltered workshop
for disabled adults, and kept writing.
Today he devotes himself fulltime to poetry, his wife Angela, and his
grandchildren by sons Daniel and Sam. Be prepared to be touched,
to laugh, and to see the world a little bit differently. Anyone
who knows Paul has enjoyed his unique, contagious laughter and will
want to join right in!
