2nd Saturday Prose & Poetry Reading

Featured readers:

MARVIN R. HIEMSTRA, a Donald Justice student at the Iowa Writers Workshop,  publishes and presents his droll poetry and humor around the world: the Carmel Performing Arts Festival to a three week triumph at the Edinburgh Fringe. Marvin's quirky, FRENCH KISS DESTINY the DVD,  released in September 2007, has been a jubilant success around the United States and Europe. Marvin lives with his mate, Lloyd Neilson -- Books Arts Expert, and his cat, Brave Feather, on Bernal Heights: teaching Piano and Performance Dynamics.    

Eugene David (AKA David Eugene Partch) A refugee from the Bay Area slice of our so-called 'civilization' and now living in the remote Northern California neo-primitive village of Willits (as it likes to think of itself). Poetry remains the link to a culture of the distant past and, perhaps, the distant future in a modest attempt to persevere our own era of hyperbolic destruction. Trying to keep even a weak thread of connection alive in the story, hoping for a chance that the stanzas will keep coming. And that someday the word 'alienation' will be ascribed to history.
