I’m going to be on the radio and other upcoming events

Posted on

I’m going to be on the radio Friday March 29th on “Friday Live” between 9:00-10:00 am with Marge Saiser and Wendy Jane Bantam to talk about our reading and show at Tuesday with Writers on April 2, 7:00 pm. Here’s the info:

WOMEN AND CREATIVITY, an event with writers and artists, will feature poets Marge Saiser and Laura Madeline Wiseman and artists Sally Deskins and Wendy Jane Bantam. Saiser’s new book tells the story of three generations of women, their lives and loves. Wiseman’s anthology, Women Write Resistance: Poets Resist Gender Violence, is just out, celebrating an effort to create a more peaceful world, one woman at a time. Deskins new Les Femmes Folles anthology includes art, poetry and interview excerpts from over 150 women in all forms of art. Bantam’s new works in oil, Black Cat at the State Park, can be seen in April, opening at Screen Ink in Lincoln. These women will show art and talk about creativity on April 2 at the South Mill, 4736 Prescott Ave, Lincoln, starting at 7:00 pm.

Here’s the amazing book trailer for Women Write Resistance: Poets Resist Gender Violence just out from Hyacinth Girl Press.

I so hope you’ll join us at 4-5pm, room 340 Nebraska Union, at UNL Featuring readings from Women Write Resistance, an anthology of poetry that I edited. The collection celebrates the utilization of transformative art in the movement against gender violence in the effort to create a more peaceful world, one woman at a time.
