MOUNDSVILLE –West Virginia poet laureate Marc Harshman will be at the Moundsville-Marshall County Public Library at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.

This return appearance provides a new opportunity to enjoy a poetry reading that was disrupted by storms and power outages at the end of April. Harshman will share poems from his new collection, “Dispatch from the Mountain State.”

Harshman was appointed in 2012 as the seventh poet laureate of West Virginia. He is, besides being a poet, the author of 14 nationally acclaimed children’s books including “Fallingwater: The Building of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Masterpiece,” co-authored with Anna Smucker and subsequently named an Amazon Book of the Month.
