Poetry Reading

Two poetry teachers from the Martha’s Vineyard Institute for Creative Writing are sharing their work tonight, July 19, at the West Tisbury Public Library.

Leah Nielsen’s first book, No Magic, was published by Word Press in 2005. She is currently at work on a manuscript that explores the medical and emotional complexities faced by chronic pain patients.

Longtime summer resident Wendy Wisner lives in Bayside, New York and has just released her new chapbook, Another Place of Rocking. Ms. Wisner taught writing and literature at Hunter College for four years but since the birth of her son in 2007, she has turned toward her longtime interest in women’s health and babies and is pursuing her Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) certification.

The reading begins at 6 p.m.
