‘Grown Ass Woman Brigade’ on April 19

April 6, 2014

I’ll be reading from my new poetry book, Hold Still, for the Grown Ass Woman Brigade, a support network of smart, funny women who look out for one another. Everyone is invited — even grown ass men! — and the fun starts at 3 p.m. on Sunday, April 19, at a Victorian house at 115 Maitland Ave. in Altamonte Springs. I wrote about this spunky, big-hearted group in Orlando magazine a year ago (“Rebels With a Cause”), and I can’t wait to spend more time with them. You don’t want to miss this.

“Terry Godbey’s poems are carefully deployed, personally revealing, and shamelessly boy-crazy. In the best of them, she leads the reader through the doors of adolescence and into the house of poetry.” — Billy Collins
