Description

Have you heard of the August Postcard Poetry Festival? Started in 2007 by Paul Nelson and Lana Ayers, the annual postcard chain prompts writers around the world to commit to writing 31 original poems onto 31 postcards to mail to each other throughout the month of August. In honor of the upcoming festival, Terry Holzman reads from an anthology of poems created during this process, then leads a workshop for those interested in joining the August postcard poetry exchange. Anyone can participate! Booksigning to follow.

Terry Holzman received her MFA from American Film Institute in Los Angeles. She is an award-winning screenwriter as well as playwright, documentary producer, artist, and poet. Terry is a long-standing participant in August Postcard Poetry Fest, having written 547 postcard poems so far (120 on her handmade collage postcards!)
