Wesleyan Writers Conference 2018

6/19/2018

Just back from the 2018 Writers Conference. Thanks to Ann Green, talented students and fellows, Salvatore Scibona who helped me with my manuscript, and Lis Harris for her riveting class in Non Fiction. Most all, a shout out to my fellow attendees for their enthusiasm and delightful sense of humor. Maybe it was the playwrights, maybe it was the Brits, but I haven't laughed so much in years. Kudos, Kathryn

Congratulations, Marianne!!

COLLABORATIONS: amnesia

8/10/2017

Amnesia, A short story with illustrations. Read it here.

,,It has been a summer of collaborations: the camaraderie of the Green Mountain Writers Conference, the assembly of an anthology by the Quabbins' Writers Salon, and a joint publication, Amnesia, in the Fictional Cafe with my husband Lew Holzman. It seemed appropriate to introduce the latter with a poem I wrote shortly after meeting Lew at Backroom Readings in Manhattan in 1979:
From Imprint, number one. University of Hong Kong 1980

LIFE AS AN OPEN BOOK

Here's what he did:
turned her cat into a dog,
dogged her cattily,
turned her back about face,
backed her faceless into the spotlight.

Who would think four arms could be so many?
Who would think she would dissolve, puddle
into lie-less nights, speak
her thighs in his bed?

and all the while
the cat retrieving balls
and barking for all she’s worth.

tHANK YOU INA!!

Reading and book party for Ina anderson

Please join us!!
The Pioneer Valley Cohousing Writing Group and
Quabbin Writers’ Salon

Reading and Book Party for
Ina Anderson, poet and author of Journey into Space
Saturday, May 20, 2017, 3 p.m.
Location: Common House of Pioneer Valley Cohousing, 120 Pulpit Hill Road, North Amherst. The reading is free and open to the public.

From her origins in England through a life well lived in Vermont, poet Ina Anderson will transport her audience through universal experiences of childhood, love and loss in a reading from her new collection Journey into Space. Maine poet laureate Baron Wormser has written of Journey into Space, “Ina Anderson’s poems show us scenes from a fully lived and deeply appreciated life. The poems hail from that legendary land called The Past, each poem brimming with convincing details and nuances of feeling. Her British origins feel at once far away and familiar, for the terrain her poems traverse is thoroughly human—the stuff of tales told by the eternal hearth."
