SOMEHOW I get to be one of seven contemporary California poets celebrating the work of seven immortals! As the library website says, “[We’re] hoping to provide a lens through which to experience these visions of a life lived in the harsh clarity of a Western light.

Featuring Douglas Kearney reading Charles Bukowski; Victoria Chang reading Diane Di Prima; Brynn Saito reading Adrienne Rich; Kim Dower reading Gertrude Stein; Amy Gerstler reading Czeslaw Milosz; Blas Falconer reading Juan Felipe Herrera, and I get to read the work of Wanda Coleman!!!

This event is free of charge and reservations will open to the public on Friday, April 7th at noon. Visit – http://lfla.org/event/western-light-poetry-edge-america/
