Every writer has one column in him. The trick is to be the kind of writer who has one column in him every week.
Kevin Fisher-Paulson talks about the craft of writing from the perspective of purpose and structure. Specifically, Kevin talks about the process of writing a weekly column for a major newspaper, like say the San Francisco Chronicle. The writer must learn how to open his soul without telling every secret, how to establish a rhythm and a voice. The writer must learn to tell the truth, but let the world act as fact checker.
SPECIAL: Our Member in the Spotlight is Oakland's Poet Laureate, Ayodele Nzinga.
We are honored that one of our most notable members will be welcoming us back to our LIVE meetings in a very changed city.
Ayodele aka "Wordslanger," founder and director of Oakland's Lower Bottom Playaz theater troupe and BAMFEST, Oakland's annual celebration of the Black Arts Movement, has been instrumental in transforming downtown Oakland into the city's first Black Cultural Zone.
Learn more about the opening of BAM House at the former Flight Deck theater space on Broadway, a few blocks down from where we'll be meeting, on KQED.
