and nominated for the Pushcart Prize in poetry. In addition to

Anthology, Inc. Partners with The Paper Heart to bring you a special
series of readings and workshops by some of the most respected
performance poets across Phoenix, Arizona and the Country. This
program has received matching grants from The City of Phoenix Office
of Arts and Culture, as well as The Arizona Commission on the Arts.

In November, Anthology is proud to present Scott Woods at The Paper
Heart, Wednesday, November 28th at 6pm for a free poetry workshop and
8pm for a featured performance.

The author and editor of over nine volumes of poetry and prose (50
Mistakes Poets Make and High Desert Voices: The 2005 National Poetry
Slam Anthology most recently), Scott Woods has performed in a number
of venues and with an assortment of accompaniments. His work has been
used in creative writing and historical literature classes at numerous
universities and high schools, has been featured multiple times on
National Public Radio, and recently in Paste magazine.

He was inducted into the Thomson-Gale Contemporary Black Biography
encyclopedia in 2006. He was the founder of the poetry performance
group The Black Air Poets, and has published articles, reviews and
other prose. He was the coach and a member of the Columbus Slam Team
that placed third in the 2000 Rust Belt Regional Poetry Slam (and won
it in 2001), and was the coach and a member of Columbus's first-ever
National Poetry Slam Team that participated in the 2001 National
Poetry Slam. He is currently President of Poetry Slam Inc., which
oversees the annual National Poetry Slam and the Individual World
Poetry Slam; MCs an open mic series in Columbus, Ohio; is the founder
of the Greatest Slow Jam Ever website; and DJs interactive music sets
as Scott's Groove Locker. He also writes a monthly poetry column -
"Poetry Is Doomed" - for GotPoetry.com.

In April 2006 Scott made history by performing the first-ever 24-hour
poetry feature, a feat he bested by doing another 24-hour feature in
April of 2007, but without repeating a single poem from the previous
year..

Beginning at 6PM, Scott will be conducting a free workshop for poetry,
followed by his feature at 8PM. Tickets for the reading are $7.
Opening up for Scott will be local poet Sharon Skinner.
