Poetry Reading and Launch Party!
August 7th at the John Natsoulas Gallery:
The Blue Moon Literary and Art Review
On Thursday, August 7th, at 8 PM at the John Natsoulas Gallery (521 1st Street, Davis), the Poetry Night Reading Series is host a publication party for the Blue Moon Literary and Art Review, featuring poets and authors whose work is featured in the just-released journal. All are welcome to hear and meet the authors, and to participate in the open mic afterwards.
Locally produced, the innovative Blue Moon Literary and Art Review features multiple genres of writing and visuals. Thursday’s event will feature a reading from “ZU (Zombie University),” a short story by Carolyn Waggoner, who was in the first class Dr. Andy took at UC Davis in the fall of 1990. We will also hear from Blue Moon founder and editor Scott Evans; he will read a short story titled “Birdsong,” perhaps with assistance from his co-author, poet Gayle Jansen Beede. We may also be joined by poets Brianna Lea Pruett and Richard Alan Bunch. All of these authors appear in the current issue of The Blue Moon Literary and Art Review.
Launched in 2007 by University of the Pacific Professor Scott Evans, The Blue Moon Literary and Art Review has offered readers high-quality local and faraway authors’ best work in a variety of genres, including poetry, short fiction, essays, and even full-length chapters of future novels. Featuring work by John Lescroart, Les Edgerton, and Indigo Moor, The Blue Moon Literary and Art Review has attracted attention because of the quality of the writing, as well as the displays of fine artwork. Stories published in The Blue Moon have regularly been performed at the Pence Gallery’s Stories on Stage Davis.
The Poetry Night Reading Series meets on the first and third Thursdays of every month at the John Natsoulas Gallery, 521 1st Street in the City of Davis. An open mic will follow the featured poets at about 9 PM, with spots available only to those who come early to sign up. The after-party begins at about 10 PM. All are invited.
