Poetry Unbound #20
Poetry Unbound is kicking off the new year with three writers who have been standing tall in the Bay Area literary scene for decades. SF native and full-time poet Judy Wells can be frequently found rocking the East Bay venues with her incisive voice. Jack Marshall, a Brooklyn emigree from Iraqi and Syrian heritage, has received many awards for his intense work. And poet, fiction writer, and journalist Richard Michael Levine is renowned for his efforts and versatility in all of these genres. Please come by and start your year right with a groundswell of inspired work.
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.

Judy was an academic counselor and faculty member at Saint Mary’s College of California, working with adults returning to school. Now a full-time poet, she lives with her husband, avant-garde poet Dale Jensen, in Berkeley.
