Women Authoring Change: Writing from Our Bodies Group Reading with ANASTACIA TOLBERT, MOLLY TENENBAUM & JUDITH SKILLMAN
Saturday, April 5 at 7:30 p.m.

Co-presented with HEDGEBROOK and the CITY OF SEATTLE OFFICE OF ARTS AND CULTURAL AFFAIRS. Tonight's installment of our ongoing reading series with Hedgebrook, the Whidbey Island writers' retreat for women, features two Hedgebrook alums and one guest author reading work that celebrates the body, and also features a special screening of excerpts from the documentary, Got Breast? Anastacia Tolbert, a 2007 Cave Canem Fellow, is the writer, co-director, and co-producer of the documentary, as well as a poet, playwright, and journalist. She is also a Seattle Arts & Lectures Writer in Residence in the Writers in the Schools program, and the author of Baring My Soul (Pinkey Promises). Hedgebrook alumna Judith Skillman reads from her tenth collection of poetry, Heat Lightning: New and Selected Poems 1986-2006 (Silverfish Review). Her forthcoming book, The Carnival of All Nothing (Cervéna Barva Press), was recently a finalist in the American Poetry Journal contest. Seattle poet Molly Tenenbaum, also a Hedgebrook alum, and the author of numerous poetry chapbooks, has a most wonderful recent full collection out, Now (Bear Star Press). She also plays oldtime string band music with The Queen City Bulldogs and Dram County. For more about Hedgebrook, please see www.hedgebrook.org.
