Ann van Buren
Mentor
Every voice has a place in poetry! Ann van Buren leads generative writing workshops in person and on Zoom and offers insights to contemporary poetry through interviews with writers for Katonah Poetry Series, Plume, The Rumpus, and other journals. Her poems have been published in periodicals including The Westchester Review, The Columbia Review, and on annvanburen.com. Much of her work is in response to visual art and performed in conjunction with music, most recently at The Hudson River Museum. For Ann, working with Girls Write Now has been inspiring, both in her role as mentor and community facilitator. She is so glad to be part of the community!
