Poetry Night via ZOOM! Join us at 8 PM on Thursday, May 20th, 2021.
Dear Friends of Poetry,
On June 3, we will (miraculously) move back to the John Natsoulas Gallery, where we will enjoy poetry at the rooftop sculpture garden with other vaccinated lovers of art and poetry. Indigo Moor and Carol Lynn Stevenson Grellas will be our features that night. Google them, and be amazed!
In the meantime, May 20th at 8 PM will mark the conclusion for now of Poetry Night on Zoom. Please join us Thursday night to hear from some of our favorite featured poets from this past year of online readings. To participate, visit https://ucdavisdss.zoom.us/my/andyojones at 8 PM, or a few minutes before if you wish to chat with the host and the other attendees.
This short (35ish-minute) reading will feature poetry by old friends and new. Be sure to be there! Tonight’s Zoom poetry reading will be like an ALL STAR GAME, only for poetry. We will be joined by poets from at least three different states, and with many different styles and backgrounds. They will include the following:
Todd Cirillo
Patrick Grizzell
Traci Gourdine
Rhony Bhopla
William O’Daly
Jihyun Yun
Stephen Byrne
Oswaldo Vargas Diaz
Barbara Saunders
Susan Kelly-DeWitt
Amanda Hawkins
Linda Scheller
Each of the headliners will read just one poem. Google any of them if you want to be impressed.
What’s more, a secret guest, recent winner of a big poetry prize, will be our final reader. He will read the poem that won the prize!
Do join us tonight at 8 PM via Zoom. Details below at the Poetry In Davis website. We return to the Natsoulas Gallery (rooftop) on June 3rd.
The Poetry Night Reading Series, taking place on the first and third Thursdays of the month, has been generously supported by the people and poets of the Sacramento Valley, and by those from many other locations via the magic of Zoom. Your host is Dr. Andy Jones, the poet laureate emeritus of the City of Davis. See Dr. Andy’s (free) weekly newsletter at https://andyjones.substack.com – Please subscribe!
