Carrollwood Cultural Center Presents a Movie on the Career of Dr. Skellings, Florida's Poet Laureate

Dr. Skellings, Florida's Poet Laureate, is a poet, performer, teacher, inventor, entrepreneur and researcher. A film about his career, Edmund Skellings: A Poet Ahead of His Time, will premiere at the Center.

The film screening is sponsored by the Florida Institute of Technology, produced and directed by Diane Newman, and narrated by Bill Dudley.

In honor of Dr. Skellings, the Center's January art exhibit is Visual Poetry, a collection of 100 artworks showing the connection between visual art and poetry. Each piece will be accompanied by a poem that either inspired the work, or was inspired by it.
