Poet Shelley Puhak’s “Stalin in Aruba”

On Saturday, April 17, 2010, poet Shelley Puhak read excerpts from her first book of poetry, “Stalin in Aruba.” The event took place at Baltimore’s celebrated Central Pratt Library, as part of the annual “CityLit Festival.” It was held in the Edgar Allan Poe room. Reviewer Julianna Baggott has labeled Ms. Puhak’s book “deeply political and deeply personal,” and as a “startling debut.”
