The Poetry Night Reading Series is proud to welcome poets Cynthia Linville and Christopher Yu on Thursday, September 6th at 8:00 PM. They will be performing at the John Natsoulas Gallery at 521 1st Street in Davis.
A former pupil of prominent Sacramento poet Dennis Schmitz, Cynthia Linville has taught English at California State University, Sacramento, since 2000 and served as editor of both Poetry Now (2008-2012), and Convergence: an online journal of poetry and art. She is a regular contributor to the Sacramento News and Review, Medusa’s Kitchen and WTF. She has also appeared in The Sacramento Bee, The Rattlesnake Review, and Song of the San Joaquin. She periodically hosts readings for The Crocker Art Museum, The Vox, and The Sacramento Poetry Center, as well as performances with the group Poetica Erotica.
Her new book of collected poems, The Lost Thing (2012), is available from Cold River Press. A music aficionado with a theater background, she is an active and ardent supporter of the arts in Sacramento and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Christopher Yu is a recent graduate of The University of California, Davis, where he earned degrees in both English and Economics. He was among the winners of the 2012 Pamela Maus Prize for Poetry, and hosted the LLAMA Radio Show on KDVS. He studied with poets Joshua Clover and Joe Wenderoth, and his poetry has appeared in the new literary anthology All the Vegetarians in Texas Have Been Shot (2012), from Absurd Publications.
