WORD WORKS ANNOUNCES
2008 JACKLYN POTTER YOUNG POETS
The Young Poets Competition director W. Perry Epes announces that Will Frazier of Episcopal High School and Megan Hauptman of H-B Woodlawn Program are the 2008 winners of the Jacklyn Potter Young Poets Competition. Both are 10th graders. Teri Cross-Davis, who runs poetry programs at the Folger Shakespeare Library, served as this year's judge.
As part of their prize award, these winners will read in the Word Works Joaquin Miller Cabin Poetry Series on June 10 along with Rosemary Winslow, a recent Word Works author and a professor at Catholic Univeristy.
2008 HILARY THAM CAPITAL COLLECTION TITLE: BY THE NEST by KATHI MORRISON-TAYLOR
The Word Works is pleased to announce that Kathi Morrison-Taylor's manuscript By the Nest has been selected for publication in the Hilary Tham Capital Collection series. This collection looks at the trials and miracles of family. We expect publication this fall. Morrison-Taylor's poems have appeared in Southern Poetry Review, Stand, Seattle Review, and New York Quarterly. Recent honors include winning the 2008 Moving Words contest in Arlington, VA. This is her first book.

Under co-directorship of Kathi Morrison-Taylor, Melissa Tuckey, and Rosemary Winslow, the Series will again present eight consecutive Tuesday night programs that will begin June 3.
