A Valley Cottage man has been chosen to be Rockland’s next Poet Laureate. Rockland County Executive Ed Day and the Arts Council of Rockland announced Juan Pablo Mobili yesterday to fill that role. Mobili said he once fancied himself a singer, but eventually found the written and spoken word was more suited to his talents…
Mobili will serve as an ambassador for the literary arts, interacting with audiences throughout the county and beyond at public readings, civic events, and through educational activities. His first poetry reading titled “Echoes of the Heart: Life’s Joys & Sorrows,” will be on February 20th from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Valley Cottage Library, all are invited to attend.
