Laurie Newell is a fan of words and of putting them together in unusual ways. She has appeared in New York in musical and poetic performance at the 55 Bar and Nuyorican Poets Cafes. She has lived and worked on four continents.
Heather Sellers is the author of three volumes of poetry, three books on the writing process, and a children’s book. Georgia Under Water, a collection of linked short stories, was a Barnes and Noble Discover pick. Her memoir on face blindness is forthcoming from Riverhead Books. Her work has appeared in O, Oprah’s magazine and Best of the South.
Sarah Van Arsdale is a novelist (Toward Amnesia, 1996, and Blue, winner of the Peter Taylor Prize for the Novel, 2003) who has recently expanded into drawing, painting and filmmaking. She teaches creative writing from her home at Hudson View Gardens.
The improvisational vocal collective Soho Voce spontaneously invents song, using a variety of musical forms in the tradition of Bobby McFerrin and Rhiannon.
