Recently Whitespace inaugurated Ready Set Readings, a series featuring writers and poets. Curated by poet Ann Stephenson, Ready Set Readings demonstrates our commitment to new and innovative writing. Upcoming readings will feature Bruce Covey (March) and Kostas Anagnopoulos (April).

Ann Stephenson is the author of the chapbook Wirework (Tent Editions, 2006). Her poems have recently appeared in The Brooklyn Rail, Coconut, Forklift, Ohio: A Journal of Poetry, Cooking & Light Industrial Safety, Gerry Mulligan and Sal Mimeo. In 2007 Stephenson received her MFA from Bard College.  She relocated from New York City to her hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.
