Book Launch of  Smart Fish Don’t Bite  by W. D. Ehrhart ($22 – Moonstone Press)

W. D. Ehrhart, author of Smart Fish Don’t Bite, is a Marine Corps veteran of both the Vietnam War and Vietnam Veterans Against the War. As the poems in this most recent collection demonstrate, he is a writer who fought in Vietnam, not a Vietnam writer.

Nathalie Anderson is the author of 5 books of poetry and manages the list-serv Lit-Philly that informs about 500 members about literary events in the Philadelphia area. She has recently retired from Swarthmore College, where she taught for 39 years, and served as Director of the Program in Creative Writing.

Eileen M. D’Angelo, author of several books, is Executive Director of Mad Poets Society, coordinated over 2000 special events in the tri-state area, twice been nominated for a PA Governor’s Award in the Arts and Pushcart Prize, and was six-term President of the Board of the Philadelphia Writers Conference.
