Join us for the Second Tuesday Barkin’ Dog reading on May 14th at 6:00 at the Barkin’ Dog Grill in downtown Modesto. Our featured poets will be Molly Fisk and Ingrid Keriotis.

An open mic will follow the featured reading, so bring a poem or two to share.

Poet and radio commentator Molly Fisk was chosen by the Academy of American Poets as one of the inaugural American Poet Laureate Fellows. She’s also received grants from the NEA and the CA Arts Council. Fisk is the author of The More Difficult Beauty, among other collections, and lives in Nevada City, CA.

Ingrid Keriotis‘ first book of poetry, It Started with the Wild Horses, is now available from Finishing Line Press. Her poems are also included in the anthology, More Than Soil, More Than Sky: the Modesto Poets. In writing, she believes in Richard Hugo’s advice: “You owe reality nothing and the truth about your feelings everything.” Ingrid lives in the Sierra Nevada foothills and teaches writing to community college students.
