Workshop Info: Insider Tips On Getting Your Poems Published! Poet and publisher Risa Denenberg will facilitate a workshop on getting your work published. Strategies for submitting poems to journals, as well as submitting a chapbook or full manuscript for publication will be discussed in the context of the essential need for community.

David Arthur's bio:
If human unrest is the cloud, rain, and sea combined,
Then imagine David Arthur's voice to be the heat on the wind.
The world requires some of us to stir the pot and drive the storm on.
David Arthur has been to the places inside us that maps dare not show.
He has been there with a pen, paper, and a decent bottle of scotch, pinching a Marlboro between his teeth screaming "F... IT, LET'S MAKE A BAD DECISION!"
David Arthur is both warrior and field reporter for the exctacies of life's pleasures and pains.
He's seen too much... And he wants to share…
