In honor of National Poetry Month, author and educator Terry Wolverton offers a free two-hour workshop exploring the anatomy of a poem.  Using poems drawn from Best American Poetry 2009, participants will discuss not only their meaning, but how their construction contributes to their meaning.  Participants may want to get a copy of the anthology prior to the workshop, but it is not required.   Please pre-register by Friday, April 9 by calling (323) 661-5954.

Terry Wolverton is the author of seven books: The Labrys Reunion, a novel; Embers, a novel in poems; Insurgent Muse, a memoir about the Woman's Building; Bailey's Beads, a novel; and two collections of poetry, Black Slip, Mystery Bruise and Shadow and Praise.  She has also edited fourteen compilations of literary work.

Writers at Work was founded by author, editor, and long-time writing instructor Terry Wolverton to provide a space for writers to stretch the imagination, strengthen their craft, produce new work, fulfill their goals, and create a community for their work.
