POTSDAM -- Connor Newcombe, a 24-year-old man with autism, will do a poetry reading from his new book, “101 POEMS,” at the Potsdam Public Library Saturday, June 8, beginning at 10 a.m.
Through his poems, Connor reveals his inner-most thoughts and worries.
Almost all of Connor's 101 poems are brief and easily understood despite their profundity, but not all are about his feelings and experiences as a person with autism, said a press release from the library.
He applies his unique ability to turn out poems in rapid succession to baking a casserole, nature, having coffee with his grandma, and his favorite topic, cats:
My Cat’s Eyes
I stare into my cat’s eyes.
He stares back.
What does he see?
