Meet the Poet,


Anne Harding Woodworth

Anne Harding Woodworth's poetry has appeared in numerous publications nationally and regionally in the Washington, D.C. area, where she lives with her husband and with her Black Lab. 

She is a member of the Folger Shakespeare Library's Poetry Board. She grew up in New Jersey and upstate New York. She lived in Athens for four years, where her first poetry book, Guide to Greece and Back, was published (Lycabettus Press). She has drawn on her Athens experience for Aesop's Eagles. 

She and her husband travel extensively in search of ancient sites. In Italy they explore classical ruins and the enigmatic, almost forgotten "sacred mounts" ("A Walk in Italy"). 

The poem, "Soccer Fields Near Padua," is the result of a visit to Italy where Harding Woodworth's son was playing professional soccer in the Italian first division. Her other son is a writer in Boston.
