SUMMARY:2022 ukiaHaiku Festival
DESCRIPTION:Haiku revival: \nFamed fest returns for retrospection and renewal \nby Roberta Werdinger \nIn 2002\, a group of poets and poetry lovers in Ukiah\, noting that their city’s name was “haiku” spelled backwards\, decided to hold a festival. Starting with Armand Brint\, Ukiah’s first Poet Laureate\, as its guiding spirit\, the festival grew and flourished throughout the years\, becoming internationally known. Now the event returns\, in time for its 20-year anniversary\, in an in-person celebration on Sunday\, May 15\, from 2 to 4 p.m.\, in the Public Room and Wild Gardens at the Grace Hudson Museum. \nThe ukiaHaiku Festival was in quarantine the first year of the pandemic and appeared only in virtual form the year after\, but haiku itself and its many writers and fans emerged intact. As people picked themselves up and dusted themselves off from the strains and separations of the COVID-19 pandemic era\, this new form of the ukiaHaiku Fest was dreamed up. The organizers decided not to hold a contest this year\, but to treat the event as a retrospective celebration\, with former and current Poets Laureate reading their favorite selections from both adult and youth categories\, as well as adding one of their own. An open mic reading will follow\, with sign-ups starting at 2 p.m. (Children and young adults are invited to attend and read\, and bilingual haiku is welcome.) Shakuhachi flute\, an ancient Japanese musical form\, will be performed by Ron Nadeau. Entertainment from SPACE\, Higher Ground\, and the Haikuleles (AKA the Uke Tones) will be provided. An arts & crafts booth\, a special presentation by award-winning haiku poet and artist Annette Makino\, and energetic MCing from former Poet Laureate Michael Riedell completes the picture. \nThe late and much-loved Susan Sparrow\, a key organizer of earlier UkiaHaiku Fests and other local literary events\, saw the festival as “uniquely Ukiahan.” Brint\, also an award-winning haiku poet\, comments: “In many ways\, this 20th anniversary celebration is a tribute to internationally acclaimed haiku author and Mendocino Coast resident Jane Reichhold (1937-2016). Jane served as an unofficial mentor to the festival\, and also judged the International category of haiku submissions. It’s thanks to Jane that local organizers\, judges and many participants learned the finer points of haiku.” \nA haiku is a three-line poem that captures a fleeting moment and a quiet impression which can often go unremarked on in our busy lives. The poems resemble little word blossoms\, compact and bursting with life. Originating in Japan\, haiku draw attention to the passing seasons and to everyday human encounters without comment or embellishment. “Think of it as a mental snapshot\, as seeing the haiku moment in your mind\,” Dan Barth\, another former Poet Laureate of Ukiah\, explains. Traditionally written in a 17-syllable format of 5-7-5\, the haiku form has been stretched and reinterpreted in recent times as it enters new countries\, languages\, and situations. \nTo find out more\, email carrm@mendocinocounty.org or visit the ukiaHaiku website at http://ukiahaiku.org. \nMasking and social distancing at this event is recommended. Part of the Festival will be held outside to facilitate this. \nThe 20th anniversary ukiaHaiku Fest is sponsored by the City of Ukiah.

SUMMARY:2022 Mendocino Spring Poetry Celebration Submissions Deadline
DESCRIPTION:2022 Mendocino Spring Poetry Celebration – 47th Anniversary\, 17th Consecutive Revival\nDeadline for Submissions: Friday\, May 20\, 2022 \nSubmit up to four minutes of you reading your poetry in an audio file to Dan Roberts via email: outfarpress@saber.net and copy Gordon Black: gblack@mcn.org. Use your smartphone audio recording app\, then attach the audio file generated to an email. Submissions to be broadcast on Dan Roberts’ Rhythm Running River show\, KZYX Radio\, Mendocino County Public Broadcasting\, June 2022 \nFrom Dan Roberts:\nIT IS AS EASY AS SENDING A PHOTO IN AN EMAIL\, REALLY! \nIf you do not have a smartphone\, you will need to borrow one for an hour. Sincerely\, the process is easy. The tricks are being in a quiet room\, how you hold the phone relative to your mouth\, and not moving your hand on the phone while recording (find a place where you can set the phone a foot away from your mouth without hands is best.). The other trick is to make a recording\, listen to it and see where it could be better\, and repeat. Then simply email it. \nMost laptop computers also have built-in mics and the ability to record\, that too is an option\, but for most people a smartphone will be simpler and sound better. If you have a problem with the process\, ask a techie friend or anyone under 30–they would love to help. \nWith iPhone\, open app Voice Memo; with Android\, open Voice Recorder. (More info further below*) \nPlease speak in this order: your name\, and then the title\, at the beginning of the poem. Within the app there is a choice to email the recording\, that’s it! \nThe RULES – submissions must be no longer than 4 minutes! (You can see the exact length after you record it). This could be a combination of several shorter poems or just one. Avoid the 7 deadly words so that I can broadcast your work without the Puritans at the FCC pretending that they will torch the radio station in the name of decency. \nEmail the audio files to both Dan Roberts – outfarpress@saber.net  and Gordon Black – gblack@mcn.org \nDEADLINE. Please get them to Dan and Gordon by Friday\, May 20\, 2022 \n——————– \n*INSTRUCTIONS FOR iPHONES-\niPhones (Apple) The Voice Memos app is often overlooked\, but it offers by far the simplest way to record audio from the iPhone microphone\, here’s how it works:\n• Open the “Voice Memos” app located on the iPhone.\n• Tap the red record button to start recording the voice or audio\, when finished tap again on the same button to stop recording. \nHow do I record audio on my iPhone?\nOn iOS\, the built-in Voice Memo app can capture perfectly fine audio\, and you can improve it even further—just not within the app itself. Instead\, head to Settings > Voice Memos > Audio Quality and change the quality to Lossless. \nRead this: https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/share-a-recording-ipad83364e1f/ipados \n——————– \nINSTRUCTIONS FOR ANDROID PHONES (All but Apple)\nOn Android phones open the Voice Recorder and do the same thing. You can send the mp3 right from that app.\nRead this-\nhttps://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-record-audio-on-android
