Braid fresh flowers into your hair and perform pagan rituals as we ponder the newly-hatched world of SPRING.

Or you could just come to this poetry reading!

Join Modesto poet laureate Stella Beratlis as she presents featured poets Josh McKinney and Lisa Dominguez Abraham.

Joshua McKinney’s most recent book of poetry is Small Sillion (Parlor Press, 2019). His work has appeared in such journals as Boulevard, Denver Quarterly, Kenyon Review, New American Writing, and many others. He is the recipient of The Dorothy Brunsman Poetry Prize, The Dickinson Prize, The Pavement Saw Chapbook Prize, and a Gertrude Stein Award for Innovative Writing. He is coeditor of the online ecopoetry zine, Clade Song. He teaches at California State University, Sacramento.

Lisa Dominguez Abraham’s poems have appeared in journals such as Southern Review, North American Review and Poetry East. Her collection Mata Hari Blows a Kiss won the 2016 Swan Scythe Chapbook Contest, and her book Coyote Logic came out from Blue Oak Press in February 2019. She works at Cosumnes River College.

Bring a poem to share during our open mic following the featured poets’ readings. Since it’s almost spring, let’s explore the themes darkness and light.
