Willits poet Daniel Essman is the featured poet at a poetry reading to be held at the Willits Community Theatre Playhouse on Saturday October 14.

The reading begins at 7:30 P.M. and entry is by donation. An open reading will follow Essman’s reading.

Daniel Essman had his first featured reading in 1973. He is a California poet who for several decades joined his wife Robin Rule to co-host the Car Lords Poetry Series in Willits and on the Coast. He also has gained a following as the film reviewer for the Noyo Theatre, as well as for his signature statement, “He likes his reality attenuated by the wisdom of the imagination.” To wit, his poems are from his own imagination and hence are the honest relics of his Senses.

Entry into this poetry reading is by donation but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds. The Willits Community Theatre Playhouse is located at 37 West Van Lane, a block west of Mazahar Clothing Store and a block south of Pizza To Go.
