Poetry Unbound #26
Poetry Unbound dives into July with radical roots and explosive words. In from Woodstock, NY, we have very special guests Andy Clausen and Pamela Twining. Andy has been rocking the poetic underworld worldwide for over five decades, and will rock your neurons to their nuclei. Pamela hails from a fearless but gentle place, planting seeds deftly wherever she speaks. Alongside them, we have the ultra-fabulous BeachHead, manifest in flesh by the East Bay’s own Pagan Neil and Alan Shearer, also in their fifth decade of twisting minds and ethos with their seductive strains of words and violin. This is a serious deal show and not to be missed! This month also marks the departure of Richard Loranger as co-host and organizer for the series, which will be carried on by Clive Matson and others.
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 Richard Loranger and Clive Matson.

Andy Clausen has travelled and read his poetry all over North America and the world. (New York, California, Alaska, Texas, Prague, Kathmandu, Amsterdam etc.) He has maintained a driven intrepid lifestyle and aspired to be a champion of the underdog. He has lectured at many Universities and taught at The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, at Naropa. He was co-editor of, Poems for the Nation, with Allen Ginsberg and Eliot Katz (Seven Stories Press). He was an editor at Long Shot Magazine. Andy has written about his friendships with Allen Ginsberg, Gregory Corso, Ray Bremser, Janine Pommy Vega, Peter Orlovsky, and many others of the Beat Generation. He is the author of 40th Century Man (Autonomedia 1997), Without Doubt (Zeitgeist Press 1990), The Iron Curtain of Love (Long Shot Press 1984), Songs of Bo Baba (Shivastan Press 2004) and his latest work, Home of the Blues (Museum of American Poetics Publications 2013), among others.
Pamela Twining lives in Woodstock, NY, where she raised her children and studied organic farming and healing with herbs. She has read her poetry in many venues, alongside Andy Clausen, Peter Lamborn Wilson, Mikhail Horowitz, Anne Waldman, Antler, Jeff Poniewaz, and Charles Plymell, to name a few, often accompanied by Cosmic Legends. Over the years she has developed a very personal style, sometimes tender and lyrical, sometimes brutally frank, resonating with the wisdom of her partially Native American heritage. Her work has appeared in Big Scream, Napalm Health Spa, The Café Review, Big Hammer, Poetrybay and others. Pamela is the author of i have been a river…; Selected Poems of Pamela Twining (DancinFool Press 2011), utopians & madmen (DancinFool Press 2012) and A Thousand Years of Wanting: the Erotic Poetry of Pamela Twining (Shivastan Press 2013).
BeachHead, composed of Pagan Neil on poetry & Alan Shearer on violin, released their 1st poetry/music album (You Can't Fit a Square Head in a Round Soul) in 1971 & have performed in 47 states & 14 countries since. Alan has performed in orchestras around the world including the National Symphony of Columbia in Bogotá & over 25 years with the Berkeley Symphony. He took his M. A. ( Music) from Stonybrook. He teaches both publicly & privately. Pagan made his living doing poetry in the streets, faires & festivals but picked up an M. A. (Poetry) & an M. F. A. (Poetics & Writing) along the way. He's put out over a dozen chapbooks, recordings & 1 dictionary (Book of Love, An Encyclopedic Lexicon of the Word Love), making him a lexicographer as well as a bard. He learns both publicly & privately.
