Richard will be performing ‘Roethke and Me: Conjuring The Garden Master’ on the stage at Saginaw Valley State University for the Centennial Celebration of Theodore Roethke. Details to follow.

Richard’s performance of his one man show ‘Roethke and Me: Conjuring The Garden Master’ was a great success. The performance was filmed, poetry was read over Roethke’s grave and Roethke’s favorite watering hole was visited. Thanks again to Linda Farynk.

“Fitzpatrick is the muscle and nerves of poet/teacher Theodore Roethke, skillfully integrating his many complex parts to present The Man, whole. Captivated by the poems since young manhood, he has arrived at a mature reading that rings true – and the impact is stunning.”
