The Poetry Night Reading Series is proud to feature Camille Norton. She will perform on Thursday, October 3rd at 8 P.M. at the John Natsoulas Gallery at 521 1st Street in Davis.
Camille Norton’s new book for Sixteen Rivers Press, A Folio for the Dark, is a meditation on the ghosts that haunt American history and literature.
Camille Norton’s first book of poems, Corruption, was a 2004 National Poetry Series winner, published by Harper Perennial in 2005. Her work has appeared in Field, The Colorado Review, The Georgia Review, and in American Poet: The Journal of the Academy of American Poets. Her poem, “The Prison Diary of Bartlett Yancey Malone,” was published in The Best American Poetry of 2010. She lives in Stockton, near the San Joaquin River, and is a professor of English at The University of the Pacific.
Arrive early to sign up for a spot on the open mic that will follow the readings by our featured poet. Please bring your poems, short stories, and songs. Performers with instruments are especially welcomed. Participants will be asked to limit their performances to five minutes or two items, whichever is shorter. The Poetry Night Reading Series is hosted by Davis poet laureate emeritus Dr. Andy Jones, and supported by Dr. Andy’s fervent interns.
