Dear
Friends and Poetry lovers:
On
Saturday, June 7th, please come and enjoy a star line-up of local
poets read from noon to six. As Poet
Populist, I will kick things off with a sung/spoken 20 minute set with bassist
John Voight and then we will hear from such language luminaries as Irene
Koronas, Donald Vincent, Toni Bee, Jean
Dany Joachim, Doug Holder, Jennifer Jean, Michael Todd Steffen and many more.
We will have an open mike from 5:30 to 6 pm open to all who wish to share their
words/verse/lyrics.
The
Poetry Tent will be located on Sidney Street between Franklin and Auburn
Streets, not on the River this year. We’ll just make our own waves.
Poets
who want, will have books available for sale.
As former Poet Laureate of San Francisco wrote:
Poetry is breath, blood, bone, scriptures, curses, rhythm,
vowels, angels, curves and purpose.
Wise
to arrive at 11:30 a.m. or so but people will be flowing in and out all day.
I
want this to be a revelatory and joyful event -- hope to see you there. There is no charge.
Lo
Galluccio
Cambridge
Poet Populist
