About Me
- jessica handler
- Atlanta, Georgia, United States
- My first book, "Invisible Sisters: A Memoir" has been named one of "Twenty Five Books All Georgians Should Read!" I would love to visit your bookclub, either in person (in the South) or through the magic of electronics. My writing has received a "Special Mention" for a 2008 Pushcart Prize. I have been honored with a residency at the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Bethany, CT., a Fellowship at the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts in Rabun Gap, Georgia, and the 2009 Peter Taylor Nonfiction Fellowship at the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop. Locally, I teach workshops in creative writing, memoir, and feature journalism, and am a member of the faculty of an art college, where I teach screenwriting. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing from Queens University of Charlotte (N.C.) and a B.S. in Communication from Emerson College, in Boston. I used to work in television. I did not push the broom behind the elephant. Usually, I served as mahout - I drove the (allegorical) elephant. If he was SAG or AFTRA. Rock stars do not scare me.

Atlanta, do you remember the "old" Carnegie library downtown?
Do you remember the "old" Carnegie library downtown, the one with the wonderful children's room with the blue and white tiles around a huge (yes, even if you were grown) fireplace? The one with marble columns out front?
Well, here are the remnants of the marble work, on the grounds of the old Atlanta prison farm off Key Road.
Thanks to Save the Atlanta Prison Farm for the guided hike.

Part of the facade of the old Carnegie library was turned into a sculpture in Hardy Ivy Park.

I know, but it's so sad what happened to the rest of that building.
Unbelievable! Maybe of it is installed in 5 Points MARTA Station also. Thanks for posting!
