To celebrate National Poetry Month in April, the American Center in Moscow is launching a news series of online sessions "Meet a Poet", where you will meet an American poet to share his/her work and his/her experience in writing and discussing poetry. 

Our first guest for the series is Charles N. deGravelles, whose poetry and fiction have been widely published in literary journals such as the Southern Review, Ohio Review, and Literary Quarterly, and in anthologies such as Wide Awake in the Pelican State: Stories by Contemporary Louisiana Writers, and Uncommon Place, an Anthology of Contemporary Louisiana Poets. His first book of poems, The Well Governed Son, was published by the New Orleans Poetry Journal Press. His biography, Billy Cannon: A Long, Long Run (LSU Press), won the Louisiana Library Association’s Literary Award for best book of 2015. A new volume of poems, Parking for Paradise Only, will be published later this year. He lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
