Join Berks Bards in welcoming:
Edwin Romond, whose latest book is Dream Teaching (Grayson Books,
2005). His work has appeared in journals such as The Sun, English Journal,
The Pittsburgh Quarterly, Zone 3, Poet Lore, New Letters, Barrow Street,
The Rockhurst Review as well as in college texts and anthologies. Romond
has been awarded poetry fellowships from the National Endowment for the
Arts, and from both the New Jersey and Pennsylvania State Councils on the
Arts. He was named “Poet Laureate” of the Easton, PA Riverview Arts
Festival and “Poet of the Month” in January for the Your Daily Poem
website. In addition, Garrison Keillor read Romond’s poetry on NPR and
the late Tim Russert selected Romond’s memoir, “The Ticket,” for his best
selling book, Wisdom of Our Fathers. Last year he was invited to read at the
prestigious Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival, a four day gathering in
Newark, NJ.
Before retiring in 2003, Romond was a public school teacher for 32
years in Wisconsin and New Jersey. He now lives in Wind Gap, PA with his
wife, Mary, and their son, Liam.
