The event will also serve as a celebration of Spring Street Editions, which has published several works of poetry by local and natinal The title poem won the Poet Laureate Award from the North Carolina Poetry Society in 2008. Other of York's poems have appeared in the Greensboro Review, which awarded him their Literary Award for Poetry in 1985. A career teacher in the public school system, York was named in 2003 the Teacher of the Year by the North Carolna English Teachers Associaton. He lives in Greensboro.
