SUMMARY:Phannarai Inkun
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, June 9th at 2 pm\, Felicia Rice’s Currents exhibit will host a poetry reading featuring Mendocino Coast Writers Conference Short Fiction Award winner Phannarai Inkun. \nCurrents Exhibit Dates: Saturday\, June 8 to Sunday\, June 9\, 2024\nExhibit Hours: 11 to 4 pm \nThere is also a reception for the exhibit on Saturday\, June 8 from 5–8 pm as part of Second Saturday in Mendocino. \nStatement from artist Felicia Rice on the exhibit:\nMy parents were active members of a vibrant arts community here in Mendocino when I was a summer kid going to their classes at the Mendocino Arts Center. I graduated from Mendocino High in the early 70s as the area was flooding with young people eager to build a new vibrant community. I have returned to town after 50 years to discover that the arts have taken a backseat to commerce. I miss seeing the arts celebrated all over town\, in every nook and cranny\, particularly on Main Street. So I thought I’d scratch that itch of mine.

SUMMARY:2024 ukiaHaiku Festival
DESCRIPTION:As the New Year approaches\, we hope you might find time to enter the 22nd ukiaHaiku Festival contest. Residents of Mendocino\, Lake\, Sonoma\, and Humboldt counties\, from kindergarten age through adult\, can enter haiku in ten different categories (two for Spanish). There is also one category open to planet Earth\, the Jane Reichhold International Award. Writing haiku\, one of the simplest and most accessible forms of poetry\, gives you a chance to capture and reflect upon being present in a special moment of experience. \n\nThere will be a celebration of winning haiku on April 28th\, 2024 at the Civic Center Council Chambers where we invite winners to attend and read their haiku. Winners will receive awards\, including gift certificates to local bookstores. We will also produce a publication of the winning haiku. \n\n\nIn recognition that the Pomo People are the original inhabitants of Mendocino County and that the name Ukiah itself is from a Pomo language\, this year\, we are making an open call to our Pomo neighbors to share haiku that are in Pomo languages or express a Pomo perspective. (These can be written in English\, Spanish and Pomo Languages\, with English translations.) \n\n\nHaiku submissions can be made on our website: www.ukiahaiku.org \n\n\nThe website also has information on writing haiku including advice from the late Jane Reichhold (a haiku scholar)\, in her videoed lesson for local teachers (see “resources” at the bottom of the website page). These resources are intended to help show what our judges are looking for in a haiku. \n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please contact Colter Jacobsen at Ukiahaikufestival@gmail.com or 415-832-0978. \nIf you prefer to submit haiku via snail mail\, there are entry forms at the Mendocino County Library in Ukiah. Or you can print a pdf from our website and send it to: \n\n\nukiaHaiku Festival\nMendocino County Library\n105 N Main St\nUkiah\, CA 95482 \n\n\nBoth online and snail mail submissions must be postmarked by February 8th. \n\n\nVisit the website for more information and to read more winning haiku from previous festivals. \nI hope you will participate with entries and come join the celebration! \n\n\nSincerely\,\nMelissa Eleftherion Carr\nUkiah Poet Laureate Emeritus 2021-2023 \n\n\nThe ukiaHaiku Festival Youth Outreach was awarded a grant by the California Humanities\, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities and sponsored by North Coast Opportunities. \n\ninstagram: @ukiahaikufestival

SUMMARY:Nominations Close for Poet Laureate of Mendocino County
DESCRIPTION:Step Forward to Nominate or Be the First Poet Laureate of Mendocino County \nThe Mendocino County Poet Laureate Committee is currently seeking nominations for the first Poet Laureate of Mendocino County. The deadline for nominations is February 29th. Nominees will need to submit applications in March and be interviewed in April. This is an official honorary position in which the Poet Laureate will serve for a term of 2 years. The Poet Laureate would be expected to appear at some public functions\, and hopefully engage with not only the poetry community but the broader literary\, Arts\, political\, and educational communities. How the Poet Laureate will do this will be defined by that person’s own creative process. For more information on how to apply or nominate for this position go to http://mendocinopoetlaureate.mymcn.org. (If you do not have access to the internet you can send snail mail to: Mendocino County Poet Laureate Program\, P.O. Box 67\, Willits\, CA\, 95490.) Anyone living in Mendocino County can nominate a potential Poet Laureate and a poet can nominate herself or himself. Some of you may not know that we already have a Youth Poet Laureate in Mendocino County. The Poet Laureate Committee believes that Mendocino County also deserves to have an adult Poet Laureate and that the establishment of this position will help enhance the art of poetry making here and inspire all of our citizens about the value and joy of creative literary expression.

SUMMARY:2024 ukiaHaiku Festival - Submission Deadline
DESCRIPTION:As the New Year approaches\, we hope you might find time to enter the 22nd ukiaHaiku Festival contest. Residents of Mendocino\, Lake\, Sonoma\, and Humboldt counties\, from kindergarten age through adult\, can enter haiku in ten different categories (two for Spanish). There is also one category open to planet Earth\, the Jane Reichhold International Award. Writing haiku\, one of the simplest and most accessible forms of poetry\, gives you a chance to capture and reflect upon being present in a special moment of experience. \n\nThere will be a celebration of winning haiku on April 28th\, 2024 at the Civic Center Council Chambers where we invite winners to attend and read their haiku. Winners will receive awards\, including gift certificates to local bookstores. We will also produce a publication of the winning haiku. \n\n\nIn recognition that the Pomo People are the original inhabitants of Mendocino County and that the name Ukiah itself is from a Pomo language\, this year\, we are making an open call to our Pomo neighbors to share haiku that are in Pomo languages or express a Pomo perspective. (These can be written in English\, Spanish and Pomo Languages\, with English translations.) \n\n\nHaiku submissions can be made on our website: www.ukiahaiku.org \n\n\nThe website also has information on writing haiku including advice from the late Jane Reichhold (a haiku scholar)\, in her videoed lesson for local teachers (see “resources” at the bottom of the website page). These resources are intended to help show what our judges are looking for in a haiku. \n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please contact Colter Jacobsen at Ukiahaikufestival@gmail.com or 415-832-0978. \nIf you prefer to submit haiku via snail mail\, there are entry forms at the Mendocino County Library in Ukiah. Or you can print a pdf from our website and send it to: \n\n\nukiaHaiku Festival\nMendocino County Library\n105 N Main St\nUkiah\, CA 95482 \n\n\nBoth online and snail mail submissions must be postmarked by February 8th. \n\n\nVisit the website for more information and to read more winning haiku from previous festivals. \nI hope you will participate with entries and come join the celebration! \n\n\nSincerely\,\nMelissa Eleftherion Carr\nUkiah Poet Laureate Emeritus 2021-2023 \n\n\nThe ukiaHaiku Festival Youth Outreach was awarded a grant by the California Humanities\, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities and sponsored by North Coast Opportunities. \n\ninstagram: @ukiahaikufestival

SUMMARY:Nominations Open for Poet Laureate of Mendocino County
DESCRIPTION:Step Forward to Nominate or Be the First Poet Laureate of Mendocino County \nThe Mendocino County Poet Laureate Committee is currently seeking nominations for the first Poet Laureate of Mendocino County. The deadline for nominations is February 29th. Nominees will need to submit applications in March and be interviewed in April. This is an official honorary position in which the Poet Laureate will serve for a term of 2 years. The Poet Laureate would be expected to appear at some public functions\, and hopefully engage with not only the poetry community but the broader literary\, Arts\, political\, and educational communities. How the Poet Laureate will do this will be defined by that person’s own creative process. For more information on how to apply or nominate for this position go to http://mendocinopoetlaureate.mymcn.org. (If you do not have access to the internet you can send snail mail to: Mendocino County Poet Laureate Program\, P.O. Box 67\, Willits\, CA\, 95490.) Anyone living in Mendocino County can nominate a potential Poet Laureate and a poet can nominate herself or himself. Some of you may not know that we already have a Youth Poet Laureate in Mendocino County. The Poet Laureate Committee believes that Mendocino County also deserves to have an adult Poet Laureate and that the establishment of this position will help enhance the art of poetry making here and inspire all of our citizens about the value and joy of creative literary expression.

SUMMARY:Dedan Gills: 29 Best Poetry Books of 2023
DESCRIPTION:Dedan Gills\nI Give You the Springtime of My Blushing Heart: A Poetic Love Song \nDedan Gills (August 21\, 1945–December 20\, 2015) is co-author\, with Belvie Rooks\, of I Give You the Springtime of My Blushing Heart: A Poetic Love Song\, which has been selected as one of the 29 best poetry books by Speechify for this year’s Poetry Month \nDedan described himself as a “soulutionary.” He was a poet and active member for eight years in one of the first urban intentional environmental communities in the country—the L.A. Eco-Village. Certified in Permaculture\, he was a founding member of the L.A. Permaculture Guild. His poems have appeared in the International Sufi Association Journal. Born in Watts\, California\, Dedan was instrumental in the formation of the Black Student Alliance movement in Southern California and for a time was a member of the Black Panther Party. The demise of the Black Liberation movement was followed by years of despair while trying to find his activist footing on a different ground. He became an unrelenting advocate for human rights and Mother Earth. Dedan worked to integrate principles of permaculture design\, sustainability\, environmental awareness\, and the greening of the inner spirit for healing and recovery. He gave tirelessly to groups of people abandoned by mainstream culture—the homeless and those suffering from addiction and incarceration. He touched many souls while actively and simultaneously addressing their physical\, material\, and emotional wounds. As he was known to say\, “Things come and go\, but the soul is eternal.

SUMMARY:Seventh Cascadian Poetry Festival: Bioregional Typography
DESCRIPTION:Clearcutting of languages and cultures has been widespread in Cascadia\, just like the clearcutting of forests. Even so\, this remains a rich and highly varied landscape\, geologically\, biologically\, and linguistically. Cascadian Zen: Bioregional Writings on Cascadia Here and Now is an anthology of pieces written and spoken in English\, but many languages and writing systems are present in the text – mostly as placenames\, personal names\, references\, and quotations. This will be a discussion between two poet/typographers: Theresa Whitehill (who designed the anthology) and Robert Bringhurst. It will start with some of the interesting problems that cropped up in setting volume 1 of the anthology and proceed to the wider context of polylingual typography in Cascadia in general. \nThe date for this talk is Saturday\, October 7\, 2023 1 PM; the venue will be announced and registrants will receive that information before the event. Cost will be $75. \nTo register\, go to https://cascadiapoeticslab.org/workshops-2023-cascadia-poetry-festival/ and click the “Register for Bioregional Typography Talk” button.

Born in Watts\, California\, Dedan was instrumental in the formation of the Black Student Alliance movement in Southern California and for a time was a member of the Black Panther Party. The demise of the Black Liberation movement was followed by years of despair while trying to find his activist footing on a different ground. He became an unrelenting advocate for human rights and Mother Earth. Dedan worked to integrate principles of permaculture design\, sustainability\, environmental awareness\, and the greening of the inner spirit for healing and recovery. He gave tirelessly to groups of people abandoned by mainstream culture—the homeless and those suffering from addiction and incarceration. He touched many souls while actively and simultaneously addressing their physical\, material\, and emotional wounds. As he was known to say\, “Things come and go\, but the soul is eternal. When souls embrace\, it is like a kiss that lasts forever!” \nhttps://speechify.com/audiobooks/blog/best-poetry-books/ \nSee more of the work of Belvie Rooks and Dedan Gills:\nhttp://growingaglobalheart.weebly.com/about-us.html \nDedan Gills; photo\, Santosh Peters
