About Us
The Katonah Poetry Series- A program of the Katonah Village Library- was founded in 1967 by Robert Phillips, a local resident, accomplished poet and advertising man. When Mr.Phillips left to teach at the University of Houston, two-time Poet Laureate Billy Collins, then a resident of nearby Somers, took it on. Billy Collins directed the Series from 1991-2008, his leadership enhancing its reputation in the literary world and drawing audiences from the greater Tri-State area. Since 2008, Collins has continued to act as Poet Advisor to the Series. From 2008 through July 2010, Billy Collins' long-time co-director, psychotherapist and poet Leisha Douglas, Ph.D. served as a series director with Marlene Gallagher, artist and poet, as assistant director. The series is now run by the KPS Executive Committee, a small group of dedicated volunteers. For more information click: http://katonahpoetry.com/
