Squaw Valley Community of Writers Poetry Reading Benefit 2010
First Unitarian Universalist Society (Starr King R
San Francisco, CA
On Friday, July 16, 2010, at 7:30 p.m., the 2010 staff poets of the Squaw Valley Community of Writer--"Kazim Ali, Forrest Gander, Brenda Hillman, Evie Shockley and Dean Young--"will read their poetry in the Starr King Room of the First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco. This benefit reading will raise money for the Poetry Scholarship Fund at the Squaw Valley Community of Writers, and this year is also dedicated to the memory of beloved long-time staff poet Lucille Clifton, who passed away on February 13. Books donated by the poets and their publishers will be available for purchase before and after the reading, and the poets will be available to sign books after the reading.
