College of the Redwoods, Del Norte and the Del Norte Association for Cultural Awareness (DNACA) will present a poetry reading at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 24 in the college's library, 883 W. Washington Blvd. in Crescent City. At that time, two San Francisco Bay area poets will read from their original works.
William Keener, writer, naturalist and environmental lawyer, will read from his award-winning chapbook Gold Leaf on Granite, a 2008 Anabiosis Press publication. His poems appear in numerous journals, both print and online, including Appalachia, Atlanta Review, Camas, The Kerf, The Main Street Rag, Margie, Rattle, Terrain.org and Water-Stone Review. In August 2009, he was invited to be one of the "Artists in the Back Country" in Sequoia National Park, a program designed to rekindle the tradition of enhancing public awareness of our country's lands through literature and the arts.
Dave Seter, Princeton University civil engineering graduate and recent affiliate artist at the Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito, will read from Night Duty, a 2010 Main Street Rag publication. He has had poems published in various journals including the Kerf, Clackamas Review, Wisconsin Review, Switched-On Gutenberg, Karamu, Blue Collar Review, and others.
Keener and Seter will also give a poetry writing workshop at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 25 at the Del Norte Senior Center, 1765 Northcrest Dr. in Crescent City. Both events are free and open to the public (though donations toward future events are welcomed), and are supported by Poets & Writers, Inc. through a grant it received from the James Irvine Foundation.
