SUMMARY:Fort Bragg Library Poetry Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:First Thursday Poetry Open Mic in Fort Bragg\, CA has returned to meeting in person. You can also attend this event via Zoom. \nSince the library is a crossroads and we want to reduce risk of illness\, we still ask you to wear masks while you’re in the audience. Wear a sweater because we need to ventilate the room well. When you’re at podium reading poems\, you won’t need a mask. \nWe ask that you keep your reading under 10 minutes and stick to poetry in all its variety of forms. \nTo receive an invitation to the Zoom reading\, or for more information\, contact Dan Hess\, Branch Librarian (info in Organizer section below).

He has been a poet teacher with California Poets in the Schools since 1998\, and teaches poetry at Mendocino Co\, Juvenile Hall. \nAs a bilingual poet\, he writes in English and Spanish\, and he has toured Spain and Cuba with a contingency of Bay Area poets. He has also been widely featured around Mendocino County\, Berkeley\, San Francisco\, L.A. and Vancouver B.C. \nHe is a single dad\, but his sons now have wives and children of their own\, so now he is the grandfather of five! He is an avid water person and he sails San Francisco Bay and swims with pinnapeds wherever and whenever they pop up to say hi. He wants listeners to know that he has a deep connection to the south coast of Mendocino as his great-great grandparents\, John and Carrie Johnson arrived in Pt. Arena on a Norwegian lumber schooner from Oslo in the 1850’s.
