Rosemary Winslow lives in downtown Washington, D.C. and teaches at The Catholic University of America. Her book of poems, Green Bodies (The Word Works, 2007) explores the complexities of love in a difficult world and finds beauty, grace, and forgiveness. Her poetry has been published in numerous anthologies (e.g.,Voices from Frost Place, Beloved of the Earth, The Farmer's Daughter) and magazines (e.g., Beltway, Cafe Review, Gargoyle, Potomac Review, Southern Review, Valparaiso Poetry Review, 32 Poems, and Locus Point. Her work has won three Larry Neal Awards and fellowships from The D.C. Arts Commission and Vermont Studio Center. Dozens of her essays on poetry, rhetoric, style, and teaching writing have appeared in journals and books. She has taught poetry in shelters for the homeless and other community settings.
Starting its fourth year, A Space Inside provides a space where developing writers, lesser known voices, and the work better-known writers create between books can be heard. Monthly readings alternate between poetry and prose, but all readers are DC-based writers. All readings, which are free and open to the public, are hosted by Riverby Books with a reception following. Questions should be directed to series organizer Monica F. Jacobe at 09jacobe@cua.edu
