Check out these upcoming beautiful poetry events in November:
Wednesday, November 14, 7:00pm. Poetry with Pandora Scooter and Samantha Barrow. Spoken wordsmiths Pandora Scooter (NJ) and Samantha Barrow (Philly-now-NYC) share new works inspired by motorcycles, sexuality, life, vegetarianism, introspection and love. Amazingly supportive of each other's work, Sam and Pandora go together like a Philadelphia Book Store and a poetry reading. Don't miss the fun!
Tuesday, November 20, 7:00pm.Poetry with Marion Cohen and Elaine Terranova. Marion Cohen’s new book, Crossing the Equal Sign, consists of poetry about the experience of mathematics.

Her books total seventeen, and her previous book before crossing was Dirty Details: The Days and Nights of a Well Spouse. Other interests are classical piano, singing, Scrabble, thrift-shopping, four grown children, and two gran's. Elaine Terranova was named a Pew Fellow in the Arts for 2006. Her most recent book of poems, NOT TO: New and Selected Poems, was nominated for a Pulitzer. For her first book, The Cult of the Right Hand, she won the 1990 Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets. She has received an NEA fellowship and two Pennsylvania Council on the Arts Fellowships for her poetry.
