August 10, 2006: Poetry Reading by Wes Ward and Elizabeth Morris

Wes Ward grew up in Alaska and moved to York, PA when he was in junior high school. He earned a BA in Secondary Education-English from York College. He currently teaches English at Cedar Cliff High School in Camp Hill. Brand New Fence is his first collection of poetry.

Elizabeth Morris has been writing poetry for a long time, during most of which the poetry was not good. In the '05-'06 school year, she won two gold awards on the national level of the Scholastic Writing Competition. She then performed at Slam 7 this summer and won tenth place. She was the youngest person there. Elizabeth hopes to keep writing for the rest of her life and eventually make a living from it.

Poetry Thursdays are held at the Susquehanna Art Museum, 301 Market Street, downtown Harrisburg, 7- 8:45 pm, presented by the Almost Uptown Poetry Cartel and hosted by Marty Esworthy.
