"A Celebration of Women's Words and A Celebration of the Poetry and Spirit
of Joyce B. Adams"

featuring Poetry of

Denise Breeden-Ost & Anne Haines Music by Deborah Hutchinson with readings of Joyce B. Adams work from members of the 5 Women Poets Workshop, Jenny Kander and others from across the community.

Women's Words is an annual celebration and will be followed by an open-mic where readers are encouraged to share Joyce's poetry, poetry inspired by her, and the works of other women poets.

Denise Breeden-Ost lives near Bloomington, and grows vegetables with her husband and young son. She writes poetry, fiction and essays.

Anne Haines is a longtime Bloomington resident. Her poems have appeared in many journals both online and in print, including most recently Barn Owl Review and Best of the Net 2007. Her first chapbook, Breach, will be out this summer from Finishing Line Press. She is a member of the groups Five Women Poets and Source: Women Writers, and supports her poetry habit by working in the IU Libraries.

Joyce B. Adams began producing poems during breaks in the expected flow of her life and produced poems regularly for the duration of her life. Joyce was a member of the 5 Women Poets Writing Workshop and published two chapbooks of her work, Secret Swing and What is Brought to Light.

Come to enjoy local women's voices, and come to share your favorite Joyce B. Adams poems and the poetry, stories, music, and songs of other women writers during the open-mic part of our program.
