About the event

Art Forum - S. Hazen Guthrie, Poet, Performer, Author
Mountain Valley Arts Council will host S. Hazen Guthrie on Saturday, April 26th from 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM for readings and book signings. This Art Forum will be a great blend of literary and performance arts appropriate for adults and teens with literary interests.

S. Hazen Guthrie is a theatre artist, specializing in voice and Shakespeare production and training. Guthrie is a lecturer and presenter for the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation – POETRY OUT LOUD.

She is listed as an Individual Artist with many state arts councils and has directed and acted for resident theatres across the country, including Steppenwolf, Victory Gardens, and the Alabama Shakespeare Festival.

Guthrie may sound familiar to those of you who listen to WLRH Public Radio. Guthrie is a member of Alabama’s Coweeta Poets; the resident poet of ScribeSouth; and, as a Sundial Writer, can be heard on WLRH Public Radio Station. She is published in No’Ala, The Rose in the World, the 2023 Year in Review: Out Loud Huntsville, and 52 Weeks of Sun.

Guthrie’s book, we held our breath the birds and I, (Finishing Line Press) was just released in September 2024 and will be available for purchase and signing at MVAC.

“In times as fraught and fearful as these, taking a breath seems both the hardest and most needed thing–in S. Hazen Guthrie‘s new book, we held our breath, the birds and I, Guthrie gives the reader permission and room to breathe. In poems that are often brief, always observant, and willing to take a closer look at nature, God, and society, Guthrie creates a haven for deep thought, mercy, and the sip of fresh air we all require to face this world. Said Ashley M. Jones, AL Poet Laureate

A coalition of writers, ScribeSouth meets weekly to formally workshop manuscripts and works-in-progress. While our primary goal is to support each other’s writing, ScribeSouth is actively engaged with a larger writing community well beyond North Alabama and hope to add writing events in the future. For now, ScribeSouth is striving to bring their best to the page as a band of writers who believe the work is necessary, perhaps at this point in history as never before.
