Literary Café at CFI featuring Robert Borgatti and Dwain Wilder

Poetry readings by Robert Borgatti and Dwain Wilder.

Robert Borgatti is a retired professor from SUNY Niagara where he served as coordinator of the Digital Media and Animation programs. In addition to being one of the co-founders and co-editors of Slipstream, he is a documentary filmmaker. Two of his films, in/word/out and Fading in the Mist, aired nationally on PBS and he is currently producing a new documentary, America’s Stairway, which is slated for broadcast in early 2026. His poems have been published in various journals, including Blank Gun Silencer, MisnomerNomadReflections, and the Buffalo News
 
Dwain Wilder has out two collections of poetry: Under the Only Moon (Foothills Publishing, 2011), and a self-published chapbook, What the Eye Knows. He has served as co-editor of several anthologies, Liberty’s Vigil, the Occupy Anthology; 99 Poets for the 99%, Vigil for the Marcellus Shale, and Civilization in Crisis: Poetic Responses. He has also published his poems in several small press journals. However, he regards poetry as principally an oral art.
Dwain is a graduate of Yale University and also studied physics. He served as editor of the Rochester Zen Center’s quarterly Zen Bow for seven years and for six years as editor of The Banner, a weekly newsletter for grass roots activists working in responses to climate change and its driving forces, and in environmental justice. He currently leads a team of librarians for a small international group of scientists, economists and bio-diversity specialists concentrating on climate change. He is an activist and has manned the picket lines  and been jailed with other picketers. After careers as a research technologist and a software developer, he is now a luthier, building musical instruments and teaching the art to students and apprentices.
