About the event

Sharon Perkins Ackerman and William Prindle

This in-person event will be cosponsored by WriterHouse and will be free and open to the public. We recommend arriving early for the best seating.

Sharon Perkins Ackerman is an Appalachian poet who received her MEd from UVA and lives in Stony Point, Virginia. Her poems have appeared in Atlanta Review, Southern Humanities Review, The Blue Mountain Review, Appalachian Places, Salvation South, Valparaiso Poetry Review, Roanoke Review, and others. She is the winner of the 2019 Hippocrates Prize for Poetry and Medicine, and her second poetry collection, A Legacy of Birds, was short-listed for the Arthur Smith Poetry Prize in 2024. Sharon is poetry editor for Streetlight Magazine.

William Prindle is a poet deepening his voice in the third half of life. His poetry explores the seams between the human and nonhuman worlds. From forest wanderings, surviving today’s America, and practicing restorative agriculture, his poetry is both personal and collective, introspective and prophetic, reminiscent and present. His 2025 poetry collection Medicine Cache Under Lichen is being published by Finishing Line Press. He hosts the Charlottesville Live Poets Society, has won multiple Poetry Society of Virginia awards, and has been published in several journals and anthologies. He has studied with Lisa Russ Spaar, Neil Perry, and Gregory Orr.
