Writers Read [8/13] Lauren Schmidt, Jennifer Badot, TBA

Writers Read is a monthly opportunity for an audience to come and listen to local writers in an intimate environment. Each second Wednesday of the month, three writers read from their work, followed by a discussion facilitated by Lindy Whiton, designer of Writers Read. These discussions have been eye opening, touching, and inspiring. Audiences have left the venue ready to write.

Lauren Marie Schmidt is the author of a chapbook, The Voodoo Doll Parade, and three full-length collections of poetry: Psalms of The Dining Room; Two Black Eyes and a Patch of Hair Missing; and Filthy Labors. Schmidt teaches in the Humanities Department at The Academy at Charlemont and lives in Shelburne Falls with her husband, Martín Espada.

Jennifer Badot is the author of A Violet, A Jennifer (Lily Poetry Review Books). Her poems and book reviews have appeared in Studia Mystica, The Ekphrastic Review, The Boston Globe, Lily Poetry Review, the Poetry is Bread Anthology, and elsewhere.
