An Evening with Brenda Hillman and Robert Hass
Montalvo Arts Center, Carriage House Theatre
Saratoga, CA
Poetry Center San Jose and Montalvo Arts Center are proud to present an intimate poetry evening at the elegant Carriage House of the famed 175-acre Montalvo Arts Center, featuring Brenda Hillman and Robert Hass.
Brenda and Bob will speak and read from their current work and several of their most-loved earlier poems. A highlight of the evening promises to be Brenda reading her heralded poem Pacific Ocean (a p'ansori), based on a Korean Folk Opera with the musical backup of native-trained drummers.
Brenda Hillman has published eight books of poetry, including the newly released Practical Water. She has received the William Carlos Williams Prize as well as fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation.
Robert Hass, professor of English at UC Berkeley, was the United States Poet Laureate from 1995 to 1997. He is the winner of the National Book Award, and the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for poetry for his collection, Time and Materials. His newest poetry collection, The Apple Trees at Olema: Selected Poems & Essays, 1985 to 2009, will be published in Spring, 2010.
The reading will be followed by brief book signing and a private reception for Sponsor ticket purchasers, and members of Montalvo Arts Center and Poetry Center San Jose.
Sponsor Ticket Holders will also be provided with front-row seating and a raffle ticket to win one of 4 prizes.
The event is supported by Poets &Writers, Inc. through a grant from the James Irvine Foundation.
This event is promotionally co-sponsored by the International Public Library of San Francisco, Kepler's Books, the Center for Literary Arts and the Djerassi Resident Artists Program.
