March Dickinson Poetry Series Features Nancy Rafal

Nancy Rafal is the featured reader at the Dickinson Poetry Series on Wednesday, March 9 at 7 pm.

Rafal has been writing poetry for the last two decades. She is not a “disciplined” writer and writes when the spirit moves her. Her work has appeared in many issues of the Wisconsin Poets’ Calendar, Hummingbird and other publications. She hopes to assemble a chapbook in the next year or so but has said this for a few years.

Rafal is a past treasurer for the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets and is currently treasurer of the Wisconsin Writers Association. She helped initiate the Poetry Trail in Newport State Park and the Door County Poet Laureate Project, both of which are now under the auspices of Write On Door County. Rafal feels she is a poetry advocate and believes that each person is capable of creative expression. “We just need a little prodding and encouragement to pick up the pen and put our thoughts and feelings on paper.”

On the second Wednesday of every month the Dickinson Poetry Series features a renowned local or regional poet followed by an open mic and reception. The public is welcome and there is no charge.

The UUF is located at 10341 Hwy. 42 in north Ephraim. For more information visit uufdc.org or call 920.854.7559.
