Description
Craig Watson was a man of many talents, interests, and skills. He launched what would become a multifaceted career first in professional theater as a stage manager, producer, and manager of public festivals, concerts, theater productions, poetry readings, and more. He then led the global communications efforts for an international technology company, taught college literature courses, and served as literary manager and associate artistic director at a Tony Award-winning regional theater. And throughout his life, he served his communities first as a volunteer firefighter and then as emergency management director.
But the work that sustained and nourished him was always in the creative arts, especially as a writer, poet, and mentor to others. Craig was a unique and dynamic voice in a fascinating, contentious, and multi-layered community of artists. While he indulged his passion for music and expanded his creative endeavors through painting, collage, and sculpture in later years, he never abandoned his love for and fascination with words.
Described as "one of our most original and compelling poets," Craig Watson makes his long-awaited return to poetry with Apologia, his thirteenth book. It is being published posthumously following his passing in January 2022 at his home in Jamestown, Rhode Island.
