Poetry Workshop with Eva Salzman
Saturday, August 15, 2009, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. At a private residence in Santa Cruz.

Eva Salzman was born in 1960 in New York City, and grew up in Brooklyn where, from the age of 10 until 22, she was a dancer and later a choreographer.  She was educated at Bennington College and Columbia University, moving to Britain in 1985.  She now lives in London.  Her books of poetry are Double Crossing: New and Selected Poems (Bloodaxe, 2004), Bargain with the Watchman (Oxford University Press, 1997) and The English Earthquake (Bloodaxe, 1992). Her eclectic background has led to work in cross-arts projects with artists, dancers and singers.

Her teaching work—for children, teenagers and adults—has included projects in London’s East End and a residency at Springhill Prison as well as continuing work for the Poetry Society’s Poet in the City and Poetryclass projects and co-devising a Start Writing Poetry course for the Open University.  Currently a selector for the Poetry Book Society, she teaches on the BA and MA courses at Goldsmiths in London.

The workshop will include writing new work and response to a poem brought in by each participant.  Participants should bring to the workshop 11 copies of the poem for which response is desired.  Lunch is provided with the workshop.

Cost: $50.  Limited to 10 participants.  Advance registration and payment required.  To reserve a place, call Len Anderson at (831) 464-8983.  Email: lenand@cruzio.com.  Checks made out to Poetry Santa Cruz should be mailed to the address below.  Call first to make sure there is room.  Then send in your check to hold your place.
