The library is hosting a Poetry Workshop: From Getting
Started to Getting Published on...
Sunday, April 6 at 2:00
This is a writing workshop suitable for
everyone… from those who have not yet written a poem to professional poets
who'd like to publish more. It is
brought to us by the Arroyo Arts Collective and will be lead by local luminary
Suzanne Lummis. Everyone is invited
& encouraged to attend.
(A brief professional bio of our presenter follows…)
In 2013 Suzanne Lummis’ won the Blue Lynx Poetry Award
so her collection Open 24 Hours will be released by Lynx House Press in
2014. She has recent poems in the debut
issue of Miramar, and in Hotel Amerika, Askew, World Literature Today. Her definitive essay on the poem noir

Fiction and Film”. She is co-editor of
