Performing on August 29, at 6:30p.m., guitarist Paul Desilva will accompany Roselle Park’s Poet Laureate Leona M Seufert as she reads selections of her poetry. Coffee and cookies will be available and the event is free.
Paul Desilva, a Roselle Park resident, has been playing guitar since the age of eight. He plays instrumentals with a classical and Spanish feel but he is versed in many other styles. Paul stated, “I’m basically a singer songwriter/guitarist who is on a musical quest and not trying to limit myself.”
Leona M Seufert, Roselle Park’s first Poet Laureate, is active in the arts in the borough. She has read her poems at the annual 9/11 memorial service and has given writing workshops as well as readings at the Roselle Park Library and Casano Community Center. Seufert has published two poetry chapbooks.
