For some strange reason we tend to wait until someone dies before we express our gratitude for what they have done. We have memorials where people get up and say how important the person was to them and what they had accomplished. Why wait? Why not have a party honoring the person with praise poems while they are still alive and can enjoy it? Join us in honoring J.C. Todd.

J.C. Todd is a Fellow of the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage and winner of the Rita Dove Poetry Prize. Author of The Damages of Morning, What Space This Body and co-author of the artist books, On Foot/By Hand and FUBAR, she has received fellowships from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, the Leeway Foundation, The Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, The Hambidge Center, Ragdale, Ucross and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. She has taught in the MFA Program at Rosemont College and the Creative Writing Program at Bryn Mawr College and holds an MFA from the Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College.
