Literary Night: The Horsewomen of the Apocalypse meet The Java Girls

What a lineup! Donna Decker, esteemed curator of our literary night series, has named this month’s event “The Horsewomen of the Apolcalypse meet The Java Girls.”

What that means is, expect to hear readings by:
Anne Meisenzahl
Deborah Hall
Jane Terrell
Laura Newton
Lynne Knight

Anne Meisenzahl is as adult education teacher and a writer whose poems and non-fiction have been published in The Georgetown Review, The Missouri Review, Penumbra, and Apalachee Review. She has recently completed a novel called Long Time Gone and is at work on a teaching memoir.

Deborah Hall’s most recent poem was published in Stone, River, Sky: An Anthology of Georgia Poems. She has also published in River Teeth, The Literary Review, The Arkansas Review, The Sun among others. Her textbook The Anatomy of Narrative was published in 2007 and reissued in 2012. She teaches creative writing at Valdosta State University and lives in Valdosta.

Jane Terrell lives and writes at her home on the Miccosukee Land Coop. Most of her work is poetry, but her latest project is a memoir of the year she spent traveling around the world. She’s got a novel in her, too, but she keeps politely asking it to wait until she finishes the memoir.

Laura Newton lives and writes in the red hills of north Florida, just a five minute walk from Jane Terrell’s house, where Jane is doing much the same thing. Sometimes Laura writes essays, sometimes poetry, sometimes letters. Some of these have been published in magazines, anthologies or newspapers. Once Mike Rychlik put one of her poems to music, so I guess you could say she’s written a song, too.

Carol Lynne Knight is the co-director of Anhinga Press, where she designs covers and text, and edits books. She is the co-editor of Snakebird: Thirty Years of Anhinga Poets. Her first book of poetry, Quantum Entanglement, was published by Apalachee Press in 2010.
