Will Nixon visited Curley's Diner from the Catskills this past Tuesday evening to read poems from his new book "My Late Mother as a Ruffed Grouse."

Will was raised in the Stamford area, but now lives in Woodstock, NY. His local poetry fans were glad to see him again, and hear his poems. Will's poetry is rich with references to the natural world, autobiographical tales, and the rewards of contemplation.

Visit the Foothills Publishing website to find out more about Will's book, read a sample poem, and purchase a copy.

Congratulations on your book, Will!
