Teatro Paraguas is pleased to host a poetry reading with noted poets Wayne Lee and Scott Wiggerman.

Joining the two poets will be Windy Dankoff, accompanying them on flute.  The reading is part of the ongoing series of readings Poetry at Paraguas.

Wayne Lee (wayneleepoet.com) is a Santa Fe, NM writer, editor and teacher. Lee’s poems have appeared in Tupelo Press, Slipstream, The New Guard, Writer’s Digest and many other journals and anthologies. His collection Dining on Salt: Four Seasons of Septets (Cornerstone Press) won the 2026 North American Poetry Book Award. Lee has also received the Fischer Prize and the Poems for Peace Award, and he has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize and four Best of the Net Awards. His collection The Beautiful Foolishness (Casa Urraca Press) was published in March 2026.

Albuquerque poet and artist Scott Wiggerman is the author of four books of poetry, including his newest, Beginning and Ending with Emily: Ghazals and Golden Shovels, a collection inspired by lines and themes of Emily Dickinson. Wiggerman is the co-organizer of the annual Albuquerque Poets' Picnic at the Open Space Visitor Center, head of the ABQ-Haiku chapter, as well as co-editor for two decades at Dos Gatos Press, which has produced numerous books of Southwestern U.S. poetry, including the most recent, Light and Dark: Southwestern Aubades and Nocturnes.

Windy Dankoff carried a flute on wilderness journeys in the 70s, and never put it down. After a pioneering solar career, he started making flutes of his own design. Jazz eventually lead him to the saxophone. Klezmer steered him to the clarinet. Ever the engineer, he hacks and improves his instruments and sounds. He joins jazz and improv groups at every opportunity, with a unique bag o' tricks.
