Dear Poets and lovers of Poetry,
Please excuse the brevity of this newsletter as I am recovering from spinal surgery.
You may find the regularly recurring events in the area in my previous newsletters,
KEEP THEM COMING! Your submissions to our Tenth Anthology, The Everyday as Extraordinary! It's going to be a wonderful collection, something you can be proud to refer to, but your poems need to be in it! No geographical requirement. Deadline for submission is December 8. Read the details in the attached.
Tuesday, November 4, 6:30-8:30: First Tuesday Open Mic poetry beside the fireplace in the Benicia Library Main Room. Cookies and Conversation 6:15. Bring 2 favorite poems to read, or just come to listen.
Thursday, November 13, 6:30 -8:30: Lyrics Workshop 2 in the Dona Benicia Room at the Benicia Library. Gail Wasserman and Tom Stanton will guide any writer interested in making musical lyrics to a melody and learning about the AI resources. Free, no reservations required. See flyer at the bottom for more info.
DON'T MISS THIS ONE - LEE HERRICK, THE STATE POET LAUREATE IS COMING TO VISIT AND READ! Saturday, December 6, 3:30-5:30 in the Dona Benicia Room at the Benicia Library. The theme is Cultural Traditions, we invite everyone for the second hour of Open Mic to bring a poem on what the holidays you celebrate mean to you (maximum 3 minute read.) We will have live holiday music, and luscious goodies on the table and from the podium so relax and re-energize! Free, no reservations required. It will be the last event of my 2 year term, and a wonderful opportunity to see whomever can come at a festive poetry party. See flyer below
Happy poeting,
Kathy
