 A Salute to Mary Jo Firth Gillett
Friday, September 14, 7PM
Mary Jo Firth Gillett has long been the Advanced Poetry Workshop instructor for Springfed Arts. She retired this year just in time to become a 2012 Kresge Artist Fellow. We congratulate her and thank her for fostering so many poets and poems. Mary Jo Firth Gillett's collection, Soluble Fish, won the Crab Orchard Series in Poetry First Book Award. Her three award-winning chapbooks are Chandeliers of Fish, Tiger in a Hairnet, and Not One. Her poems have appeared in The Harvard Review, Michigan Quarterly Review, The Southern Review, Gettysburg Review, Third Coast and Green Mountains Review, among other journals. She has won the NY Open Voice Award, a Creative Artist Grant from ArtServe Michigan, and several Pushcart Prize nominations. We will enjoy one poem each from:
Mary Butler, Ama Carey Barr, Maria Costantini, Diane DeCillis, Diane Dickinson, Anne Doran, Joy Gaines-Friedler, Penny Hackett-Evans, Karin Hoffecker, Nadia Ibrashi, Sara Lamers, Mary Minock, Alexander Morgan, Christine Rhein, Sophia Rivkin, Lucinda Sabino, Mary Schmitt, Susan Sheiner, Kathleen Walsh Spencer, Kristine Uyeda, Rebecca Vlasic, Liz Volpe, Carol Was, Sondra Willobee and D'Anne Witkowski.
