>Tuesday, March 27, 7pm – Poet Joyce Peseroff and Novelist Sandi Kahn Shelton
>
>On March 27, Ordinary Evening presents two writers—poet Joyce Peseroff and 
>novelist Sandi Kahn Shelton—whose sparkling wit, keen sense of 
>language,  and unusual insight into the bonds of love and family promise 
>an enthralling evening.  Join us in the welcoming Mermaid Room, downstairs 
>at the Anchor Bar & Restaurant, 272 College Street near Chapel, in New 
>Haven. (203) 865-1512.
>No cover charge; drinkers and teetotalers alike are welcome.
>
>Sandi Kahn Shelton's second novel, A Piece of Normal, has just appeared in 
>paperback. Sandi, a transplant to the New Haven area, always meant to move 
>back to California but instead discovered she could live without the 
>Pacific Ocean much more easily than she could do without clam apizza, snow 
>days, and all the writers who live in this little 19-square mile area. 
>Although by the age of five, she envisioned a smooth-running literary 
>career for herself after she sold a story to her neighbors for 20 cents 
>(the cost of a banana popsicle), she's discovered since then that the 
>writing life, while mostly fun, isn't just about acquiring frozen 
>desserts. She is the author of three non-fiction humor books about 
>parenting--books that boast of offering absolutely NO viable parenting 
>advice except "just try to make it from day to day." A feature writer and 
>former humor columnist for the New Haven Register, she's the author of two 
>novels, What Comes After Crazy and A Piece of Normal, and is currently at 
>work on a third. She also maintains a blog at 
><http://www.sandishelton.com/blog>her website, www.sandishelton.com.
>
>Joyce Peseroff's four books of poems are The Hardness Scale, A Dog in the 
>Lifeboat, Mortal Education, and Eastern Mountain Time (Carnegie Mellon 
>University Press). She is the editor of The Ploughshares Poetry Reader, 
>Robert Bly: When Sleepers Awake, and, most recently, Simply Lasting: 
>Writers on Jane Kenyon. Recent poems and reviews appear in Margie, 
>Memorious, Ploughshares, Salamander, Slate , and The Women's Review of 
>Books. She has received grants for her poetry from the National Endowment 
>for the Arts and the Massachusetts Artists Foundation, as well as a 
>Pushcart Prize. She is Director of Creative Writing and the new MFA 
>Program at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.
