I am Sea Glass - Poetry and Watercolors at the Toms River Library

Richard and Pat Morgan live, write and paint on Long Beach Island where the wind and the waves fight for their attention.  I Am Sea Glass is a collection of Richard’s words and Pat’s watercolors that reflect each other like light bouncing back and forth between two polished mirrors. 

On Tuesday, January 24, at 7:00 PM  they bring their art and poetry to the Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Library for a reading accompanied by a watercolor slideshow from their book  I Am Sea Glass.

 Richard has been writing poetry for 50 years.  He is a member of the LBI Writers’ Group and his poetry has appeared in Poetry Ink 2011, 15th Anniversary issue and the latest editions of Echoes of LBI.  Richard has read his poetry at The Ocean County Library, Surf City Branch, Robin’s Bookstore, Philadelphia, Tuckerton Seaport’s “PoeTrio” and the LBI Writers’ Open Mic.
