Poetry Unbound #7

SEE EVENT DETAILS
at The Art House Gallery & Cultural Center (see times)
On Sunday, December 1, Poetry Unbound is proud to present our seventh event in the series, featuring three awesome writers who will help to deconstruct our DNA. MK Chavez, who was unable to grace our stage last month due to an injury, returns well and raring to give those amino acids a twist. Liana Holmberg, SF poetry and proseist and founding editor of Red Bridge Press, will shake the strands with writing that risks. And Steve Arntson, pianist and poet magnifique, will kick those GATC’s into the next dimension. So come on down and become a new species with the rest of us.

Poetry Unbound is a new 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.

PERFORMER BIOS

Steve Arntson is a musician who has played literally hundreds of recitals, and who came to writing through his music later in the game. He started hanging out at the Café Babar readings in the late 1980’s, and claims to have been “very influenced by all those cats.” In the last ten years he has concentrated on two areas in his written work: geographical fantasia in which places evoke stories (often the California and Oregon coasts, which he loves), and on burning man, which he has been going to for quite a while and claims that it makes him feel as if he is in the middle of a Fellini movie.

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.

Liana Holmberg's poetry, fiction, and prose have appeared in the Academy of American Poets anthology New Voices, Necessary Fiction, decomP magazinE, Hawai`i Review, and Honolulu Weekly. Liana is a freelance developmental editor and a founding editor at Red Bridge Press, publisher of the new anthology Writing That Risks: New Work from Beyond the Mainstream.
