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.
