Poetry Atlanta Presents Alice Teeter, Amy Pence July 26, 2008

Poetry Atlanta Presents returns to the Wordsmiths stage with poets Alice Teeter and Amy Pence.

Alice Teeter won the Georgia Poetry Society's 2008 Charles Dickson Chapbook Competition for her collection, String Theory. She is a member of the Artist Conference Network, a national coaching community for people doing creative work. She is also a member of Alternate ROOTS, a service organization for artists doing community-based work in the Southeast. She has led "Improvoetry" workshops with Lesly Fredman, using improvisation techniques as poetic inspiration and poetry as a springboard for further improvisation. She designs CD cover art for Atlanta-area musicians and works as a graphic artist for Coverdell, a marketing services company. She is currently working in collaboration with Priscilla Smith on a large performance piece, which will combine dance, physics, visual art, music, and poetry.

Amy Pence's chapbook, Skin's Dark Night, was published by 2River Press in 2003. Her interviews with writers Barbara Kingsolver and Li-Young Lee appeared in Poets & Writers. Ablaze, her full-length manuscript, has been a finalist for several poetry competitions, including the Walt Whitman Award and the Agnes Lynch Starrett Prize. Current poems are online at The Pedestal Magazine and Mudlark and in print in Runes and Red Rock Review.
