Workshopping with Ava Leavell Haymon

Had a really nice evening with Ava Leavell Haymon’s poetry workshop. It was a small crowd so we got to do quite a few exercises, and have lots of nice little conversations on the process, what inspires us, and we also got to read some of our own works.

She’s also reading this Tuesday night at Charis books (7pm), I’d highly recommend anyone catch her reading that can. She’s currently doing readings from her new book “Kitchen Heat”.

These are great poems. You know, I write on the topic HIV/AIDS, usually in a very politically charged way. If you do another chapbook anthology, I'd love to participate.
