The Nevada County Poetry Series brings two of the region’s more notable writers to the stage, JoAnn Anglin and Beverly Korenwaser.  Nevada County Poetry Series board member Bill Gainer says, “Anglin’s and Korenwaser’s words touch softly a world on edge.  They remind us that the gifts are within and that the best of the giving is with an open heart. Anglin and Korenwaser know what love is and embrace its sharing.”
 
JoAnn Anglin lives in Sacramento, where she writes about humans in nature, the nature of humans and related developments. She has worked as a poet in the schools and has written articles on poetry and on the arts in general.

She is a past Artistic Director of the Sangeet School of World Music and editor of USC's School of Cinema-TV Newsletter.
