Writers Place Reading Series Friday night

So last night was a reading at the Writers Place.  Three Scheduled readers, Dawn Downey, Jeanette Powers and Hearter Derr-Smith.

Jeanette I've heard before. I've seen her do performance poetry but  last night was a more traditional reading. Jeanette can funny or at that is how she often presents and most of her material was on the lighter side. She was very enjoyable. 

Dawn's work was more prose orientated. She from some essay material. Her language skills showed in her readings. Very philosophical in nature.

Heather Derr- Smith did not make it to the reading. I don't know the reason but it was most disappointing as I've hear her work is outstanding from several sources. Additionally, she has material on her web site that is so powerful. She has a pot of personal experience to lean on when she writes and I hope to at some point in the future meet her because is increasingly talented.  Her we site can be found here.
