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. Poetry Unbound features three writers on the first Sunday of each month, with a brief open mic. The hosts occasionally feature music along with the poets, and special events as well.
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.

PERFORMER BIOS
Doug Friedman came to Oakland from New York seven years ago. Before that he was acting in New York and Chicago. He began writing at fourteen. He has written poetry, short stories and plays. He lives in an apartment. With himself. It is important to note that all of his writing has been done inside his truck.. This will be the first time he has allowed his writing to be removed.
Jeanne Lupton is currently taking dulcimer and voice lessons, having personal essays published in Dead Mule School of Southern Literature on-line journal, and developing a solo performance, working title “Saturday Night Man.” She writes tanka and personal essays. Marimba Press will publish her essays soon. For the past seven years she’s hosted a poetry reading series at Frank Bette Center for the Arts in Alameda. She lives at Strawberry Creek Lodge senior housing in Berkeley with her cat Summer. She says, “One of my favorite ideas about writing is expressed best by my distant cousin Willa Cather. Paraphrasing, artists know how hard it is to be truthful, and the practice of art takes us into, through and toward more and more truth. Or, as Bob Dylan, no relation, would say ‘To live outside the law you must be honest.’”
Larry Beresford is a freelance medical journalist who currently lives with his mother-in-law in San Francisco but would rather live in Alameda. His book, Under a Gibbous Moon: The Adventures of Mister Funky, published by Gail Ford and Broken Shadow Publications, is a collection of humorous poetry written in the notorious alter ego of Mister Funky. His Family Poems, available at Amazon.com, highlight relationships with his spouse, his first grandson and the dolphins. He is a skinny tire cyclist, an occasional bass guitarist, and famous for his red beans and rice.
No one turned away for lack of funds.
