Glendale, CA– Glendale City Library presents Carolyn Howard-Johnson in a free seminar and poetry reading where she will introduce two new poet voices, Sona Ovasapyan and Christine Alexanians.
Poetry: Don’t Let It Molder in a Drawer, Publish It! will be open to the public on Saturday, April 21, 10 am to noon at the Glendale Central Library Auditorium, 222 E. Harvard St, Glendale, CA 91205
This event will be led by Carolyn Howard-Johnson, author of Tracings, a chapbook of poetry (Finishing Line Press) and Cherished Pulse, an e-chapbook of unconventional love poetry, as well as four other award-winning books including The Frugal Book Promoter: How to Do What Your Publisher Won’t and The Frugal Editor: Put Your Best Book Forward to Avoid Humiliation and Ensure Success. Howard-Johnson was honored by members of the California Legislature as Woman of the Year in Arts and Entertainment, by the Book Publicists of Southern California with their Irwin Award and by her community with a Character and Ethics Award for her efforts to promote tolerance with her writing.
