Hello Writers,

​

Please come hear Cathy Perkins read from her new collection of poems, Udder Uproar.  Cathy will discuss the writing and publishing of this book of bawdy (body) poems.  Cathy is a Lexington author, who enjoys reading her poems at poetry open mics and performing stand-up comedy anywhere people ask her to perform, within reason.  Cathy often combines poems and comedy, as limericks are great mnemonic tools, and she claims her memory is not what it used to be due to a few traumatic brain injuries.  Cathy’s newest word for her artistic profession is “poemedian.”

 

Please join us at the Berea Branch of the Madison County Public Library from 1:30 pm until 3:00 pm on Saturday, November 16th.  We will have refreshments, and if time permits, a writing exercise that Cathy has developed.  Hope to see you all then.
