Welcome This POETRY & PROSE page was created because we wanted to share with a broader audience some of the words that have resonated in the gallery during readings and workshops. In the same way that our exhibitions present so many different visions around a common theme, these writings sound an amazing array of voices. Woman Made Gallery also features an annual publication, Her Mark, with art and poetry by 48 women. To read more about the current edition of Her Mark or for purchases visit the Special Page. The image on the right shows Nina Corwin presenting our Her Mark 2009 publication during the 'And You Think That's Funny?' reading which was held in conjunction with the group exhibition with the same title, and solo exhibitions by Nicole Hollander and Kathy Weaver on Sunday, February 8, 2009. Readers included Lois Marie Harrod, Elizabeth Kerlikowske, Erika Mikkalo, Kristin Ravel, Christine Stark, Donna Vorreyer, and Pamela Miller. Upcoming Readings and Calls for Poetry All poetry events are organized and hosted by noted writers and poets who are members of Woman Made Gallery. The current poetry series is curated by Nina Corwin .
Poetry events are free and open to the public with light refreshments served. For questions please contact WMG at gallery@womanmade.org. Submission Guidelines for Woman Made Literary Events If you are interested AND available to attend the reading on the date/time specified, send three to four poems IN THE BODY of an e-mail (no attachments) AND a brief bio (150 word max) to gallery@womanmade.org with Reading Submission (specify theme) in the subject line. We will contact you if your work is chosen. If you have not heard from us within three to four weeks of the reading, it is safe to assume that your work has not been selected. That being said, we will try to respond to you in any case. If you are not selected, please understand that we are volunteers programming to meet several criteria as best possible, representing the best of a diversity of themes, styles etc. To that end, we will review the first 15 submissions sent to us, looking further only as needed to reach these ends. While we would love to pay our readers, please note that we are not able to do so at this time. Readers are welcome to bring books for sale at the time of the event. In the meantime, come to our readings. See what we're doing and support woman in the arts.
