She has read at the Manayunk/Roxborough Art Center and has offered writing workshops at Alvernia University and Abraxas Academy. Marilyn is a member and treasurer of Berks Bards.

Patrick Klimcho writes poetry, especially creative satires, and fiction.

Patrick is editing a new work of fiction about the Napoleonic Era. And he can melt your heart with poems about his grandsons.
