Barbara Henning: Workshop & Reading
Here is Barbara's description of the workshop:
"Over the years, I’ve developed a long list of approaches and experiments that have helped me generate poems (and novels) and also helped me think differently. Most of these experiments (or constraints) engage autobiographical material (the self extending into the world) while at the same time disrupting or redirecting an easy chronology. Some of the assignments will include: walking/writing meditation, sequential quilting, prose sestinas, research/layering, a line an hour, thinking the opposite, etc. The class will function as a workshop; we will read and discuss your writing. We will also spend part of the time considering writing by others, such as: Matsuo Basho, Harry Mathews, Jack Kerouac, Harryette Mullen, William Carlos Williams, Helene Cixous, Bill Kushner, Bernadette Mayer, and Ed Sanders."
Also in February at the Poetry Project: Barbara will be giving a reading with Ed Pavlić. The reading will be Wednesday, February 10 at 8PM.
The Poetry Project is at St. Mark's Chuch, 131 East 10th Street, Manhattan.

Tina Barry: Readings from Mall Flower
Come hear Tina Barry, LIU MFA graduate, read from Mall
Flower, her newly released, first book of poetry and short fiction, at the
Inquiring Minds Book Store in Saugerties, NY (corner of Main and Partition).
Saugarties is a 2 hour drive from NYC, or Trailways bus ride from Port Authority. The date is 12/19
at 3 pm. Sugarties and the neighboring towns in Upstate NY, is a beautiful place to
spend a day or two, full of great bookstores, restaurants and stunning scenery.
Jessica Hagedorn said Mall Flower “shimmers with delicate
and gritty insights.”
Poet Joanna Fuhrman says, “Tina Barry is a master of the
image that packs it all in: social commentary, pathos, humor, you name it.”
Short story writer Jen Knox, says, “With a sort of precision and attention most
poets would reserve for the mapping of a butterfly wing, Barry
dedicates both her short fictions and poems to something equally perplexing and full
of beautiful angles and confusing symbols - she points the magnifying glass so that
it reflects the sun against the sheen of plastic, the semi-precious, the
hair-sprayed, fast-food fed realities that usher many of us into and out of days, years,
and even decades of
longing for genuine connections.”
Any questions, call Tina at 646-925-0281, or send an email to
tbarrywrites@gmail.com.
