TREADWELL ‹ On Thursday, April 18, as part of its ongoing

George Drew of Poestenkill and Christine Gelineau of Windsor. They will

will take place at the Bright Hill Center, 94 Church Street, Treadwell, a

³Poetry Northwest,² ³Quarterly West,² ³The Quarterly,² ³Salmagundi,²
³The Southern Poetry Review,² ³The Texas Review,² and many other
journals and literary magazines. His work has been anthologized, most
recently in ³North Country² and ³The Anthology of Magazine Verse and
Poetry.² His first collection, ³Toads in a Poisoned Tank,² appeared in
1986 from Tamarack Editions; his second, ³So Many Bones: Poems of
Russia,² was published in 1997 by Rarus Press, a Russian publisher, in a
bilingual edition. Drew has given poetry readings in many venues, and
has been a staff member at The Frost Place in Franconia, New Hampshire
as part of an annual conference for middle-school and high-school
teachers of poetry.
Christine Gelineau lives on a farm where, along with her husband,
