Join us on March 16th at 7 pm for a virtual poetry reading by Anne Harding Woodworth.

 Anne will read from her new book Trouble. The book includes the group of poems “Hannah Alive” which form the basis for a one-woman play. That play was a finalist at the Adirondack Shakespeare Co. festival.

 Anne is the author of seven books of poetry and four chapbooks. Her poem “Looking Homeward” was selected by Terence Winch for the Best American Poetry blog. An excerpt from her chapbook The Last Gun won the COG Poetry Award.

 The poems in Trouble show a wry attention to the nuances of human (and animal) behavior, as in these excerpts:

Tony isn’t in heaven

 Flashback: I knew

 about the woman in the pink

angora sweater

* * *

During sex

the male spider, P. mirabilis

is known to fake his own death

so his mate won’t kill him

he lures her with a “nuptial gift,”

but holds on to it

even in death

just in case

she has a mind

to run off with it

Following the reading, there will be a question and answer period.
