Poetry Unbound #6, a New Reading Series in Berkeley
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at The Art House Gallery & Cultural Center
(see times)
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 intense and enigmatic poets who write the marrow of our lives. Bruce Isaacson, renowned Babar poet and editor of Zeitgeist Press, will trek in from Nevada to show us what our bones are made of. Bay Area poet MK Chavez will draw the body out with her language made of flesh. And writer/performer Anika Mithra will take that space in to the realm of dreams.
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 and Richard Loranger.

PERFORMER BIOS
Bruce Isaacson has lived in San Francisco, Michoacan, L.A., New York, Philadelphia, Oakland, and Leningrad. He is known as a poet and publisher of Zeitgeist Press, which has done over 100 books mostly from poets associated with the Cafe Babar and the 1980s spoken word revival. His books include Ghosts Among the Neon, Dumbstruck at the Lights in the Sky and the recent Book of Rebellions. He has a son at Reed College, and lives in Las Vegas with his wife and daughter.
MK Chavez is the author of Virgin Eyes, Visitation, Next Exit #9 (with John Sweet), and Pinnacle. She has been the editor of Mill’s College Award winning journal The Walrus, Cherry Bleeds Literary Journal, and the Milvia Street Journal, and is co-founder and co-curator of the Berkeley based monthly reading series Lyrics & Dirges and founder and editor of Tres Corazons Press. You can find her recent and upcoming work in Generations, 1611, and Zone 3.
Anika Mithra performs poems to inhabit space with theatrical archetypes. Dreamy, experiential, and startling, they expose vulnerabilities that usually remain dormant. Other creative work includes video, handmade paper arts, knitwear, and collage zines. In California, she’s formally studied folklore, collecting, anthropology, and the avant garde. Informal studies range from improvisation to embroidery. She’s made The Better to Teeth You With (2013), More than One Hundred Years… (2009), She Looking Up (2006), Clay A Would-Be Ghost Town (2006), and “Hattie Don’t Stop” (2005).
