Poetry Unbound #4
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. In September we proudly feature three powerful Bay Area writers of diverse backgrounds and approaches. San Francisco poet and educator Kim Shuck will weave a tapestry of words that takes us through her past and our present. Oakland satirist Garrett Murphy will iron out the wrinkles in our cultural preconceptions. And Jamaican-American writer Teju Adisa-Farrar will dye the fabric of our lives with her global awareness and eloquent expression.
Poetry Unbound presents 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, Karla Brundage, and Richard Loranger.

Shuck has two solo books Smuggling Cherokee, a collection of poetry and Rabbit Stories, a narrative in vignettes. Her poems and stories have been included in over 50 anthologies and literary magazines. In her free time she herds cats and cajoles her children.
Garrett Murphy was born in Alameda and raised in Oakland; he has been writing ever since he can remember. His works have appeared in Milvia Street, the Peralta Press, Street Spirit, and the anthologies The New Now Now New Millennium Turn-On Anthology and Words Upon the Waters: A Poetic Response to Hurricane Katrina, among others. He has published several books, the most recent being the novella Yang But Yin: The Legend of Miss Dragonheel, and is said by some to be one of the Bay Area's preeminent political and human nature satirists. His website is https://www.garrettmurphywriter.org.
Teju Adisa-Farrar, an expressive Jamaican-American, identifies as a citizen of the world. As sociologist and political theorist, social justice and global awareness are two of her main passions. She has read her poetry in many venues and her works have been anthologized in a few collections. Her first collection of poems and essays is entitled In-between Things, and she has two new poems published in the July edition of the online journal ProudFlesh.
