The June 8 Performing Arts Studio Second Sunday Poetry Reading will feature Maria Veres.  Held in the Norman Depot, 200 South Jones, the reading begins at 2:00 PM.  There is no admission charge.  Light refreshments are served.  Everyone is invited to attend.

Maria Veres began writing at age eleven. To support her literary habit, she has worked as a legal secretary, Medicaid clerk, fundraiser, copyeditor, and magazine publisher. She is now a homeschooling mother and part-time teacher at Francis Tuttle Technology Center.

Her poetry has been published in many literary magazines over the years. Her first chapbook, Waiting for Miracles, was released in 2007.

Veres lives in the Oklahoma City area with her husband and daughter. When not writing or teaching, she confides that she spends hours vacuuming tufts of hair left behind by the family's various pets.

“As you can surmise from the short bio and poem, this reading promises to be a light hearted and delightful treat.” says PAS Executive Director Nancy McClellan.

Also enjoy “First Time Around,” Photographs by Emily Dutcher, in the PAS Gallery while attending the poetry reading.  For additional information about Performing Arts Studio programs, phone 307-9320.
