Local author, storyteller, and Florida Writers Association member, Elaine Person, read her favorite prose and poetry writings Friday, the first literary event of 2010 at the library.
Beginning with her piece from the FWA book From Our Family to Yours, about being a "person, " in both name and fact, Elaine proceeded to her haiku and other poems from her chapbook, Crescent Moon. Her reading was often humerous, and sometimes touching, as when she read about the last time she visited her dad, and the poem she created for the birthday of a man with a terminal disease.
Her enthusiastic presentation of her work and her pitch for Florida Writers Association events and other local writing groups won her accolades from the audience, many of whom were fellow writers. Silver Fern Writers in Winter Park (http://www.silverfernwriters.com/), and Writing Your Life in Orlando (http://www.writingyourlife.org/) were two workshops Elaine mentioned for both beginning and advanced writiers.
If you want to contact Elaine about her writing or speaking schedule, you can email her at Lnprsn@gmail.com.
