Bilingual Poetry Reading, August 20, 2009

Dear Poets and Friends of Poetry,

This is just my usual reminder about our next poetry reading:Our major poetry event for this month is a bilingual poetry reading at the Napa Main Library. (There will be no "read around" at the St. Helena Library until next month.)Napa County Poet Laureate Gary Silva and the Napa City-County Library will present a Bilingual Poetry Reading in the Library’s Community Meeting Room on Thursday, August 20th, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. Several featured local poets and readers will read their own poems and poems by others in Spanish and in English translation. If time permits, an “open mike” will be offered to persons in the audience who are invited to bring a favorite poem and translation to read aloud. This presentation is open to the public and is free of charge. Seating and assisted-listening devices will be available on a first-come first-served basis. The Napa City-County Library is wheelchair-accessible and is on VINE route 2. For further information, please call 235-4235.I hope you can attend!

Gary Silva, Poet Laureate, Napa
