    IAWA Welcomes Authors Marie-Helene Bertino and Joanna Clapps Herman on Saturday, Sept. 13, 2014 at Cornelia St. Cafe

    IAWA .(September 11, 2014)
    On Saturday, Sept. 13, IAWA will welcome two very accomplished authors -- Marie Helene Bertino and Joanna Clapps Herman -- both of whom share a passion for teaching. Bertino is part of the new wave of writers teaching in workshop settings and within the framework of the innovative One Story concept while Herman has been teaching at universities; much of her work reflects her "italianita," which has been an inspiration for her. IAWA readings begin with an open mic followed by features taking the stage.
