Poetry Unbound #15
We are going into the trenches for this month’s Poetry Unbound! We’ll hear from Daniel Yaryan, one of the few who keep the Beat tradition alive, duking it out with Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, and Hollie Hardy, whose hard-hitting, sarcastic style fits the title of her brand-new volume How to Take a Bullet, and Gary Turchin, who laces his own struggles in life with vibrant, affirming humor. And all three bring wide, prize-winning experience in organizing and giving readings from the bars and cafes to elementary schools. We expect one of our most fun and most stimulating evenings, feet in the grit and heads in the clouds!
Poetry Unbound is a monthly reading series dedicated to presenting new work in a broad range of styles and genres, and to bringing together writers from different circles and communities, to strengthen and unite. We present passionate wordsmiths on the first Sunday of each month, with a brief open mic, at the Art House Gallery in Berkeley. Hosted by Oakland writers Clive Matson and Richard Loranger.
