What BWW
Writers Are Working On
Now
Jane
Elkin, fresh from a poetry salon at The Writer's Center
in Bethesda will be attending a 4-day novel continuation
workshop in January at Peter Murphy's
Winter Prose and Poetry Getaway in New Jersey.
This, her fourth retreat with him, should prove a
productive and mind-expanding getaway that will finally
answer the question, "Can a hippie and an ex-Green Beret
find contentment together?"
