REVIEW OF LITERARY AGENT DR. UWE STENDER’S WORKSHOP

    The following review of a PennWriters workshop was written by Annette Dashofy, I’m a yoga teacher who writes, striving to become a writer who teaches yoga. She lives in Burgettstown, PA. Four members of the Beanery Writers Group attended the meeting (view photo of Sal and Chuck sharing their work with Dr. Stender: http://www.flickr.com/photos/beaneryonlineliterarymagazine/3298270971/ ) held at the Monroeville Library on February 14, 2009.

     Some mountain men in the Laurel Highlands continue to distill their own moonshine in copper pipes and pots. During prohibition, they used this product as a way to survive, either by bartering or for cash. Those visitors who had reason to intrude on their property found themselves threatened by
