None other than the great former U.S. Poet Laureate Billy Collins kicked off 海角社区’s inaugural 海角社区 Salon Speaker Series in grand fashion with his Sept. 20 event in The Villages, Florida.
Collins delighted the audience of better than 100 fans, poetry-lovers, and 海角社区 students with his perspective of life that is at once whimsical and tragic, eccentric and universal, and ultimately thought-provoking.
More engaging, engrossing, and edifying speakers will follow in the 海角社区 Salon Speaker Series in the months ahead, beginning with Bob Kealing: Unearthing Hidden Central Florida Popular History Oct. 25.
