SUMMARY:Sonia Greenfield + Brendan Constantine
DESCRIPTION:Sonia Greenfield was born in Peekskill\, NY\, and has lived in Seattle\, San Francisco\, Los Angeles\, and most recently\, Minneapolis\, where she shares her home with her son\, husband\, and two rescue dogs. She has worked as a college professor\, bartender\, television producer\, barbershop shampoo assistant\, and once appeared as a dating show contestant. She has a deep enthusiasm for dogs\, children\, dance parties\, beaches & mountains\, detective fiction\, 80s New Wave\, fussy bourbons\, the NYT crossword puzzle and The New Yorker. An activist and political volunteer\, Greenfield has been the director of The Southern California Poetry Festival and editor of Rise Up Review. She is also a former organizer of UW-Seattle MFA Prom from 2002-2004\, because dressing fancy is fun even though most days now are spent in mom-jeans. She knows how to throw an amazing dog birthday party\, complete with peanut butter cake and the neighborhood parrots as guests\, and she can decorate a child’s birthday cake to look like a real aquarium populated with sharks. That’s four sheet cakes stacked. To-scale. Greenfield is tenderhearted and believes in the inherent goodness of humans while also understanding that they can convince themselves\, through a series of mental acrobatics\, that good is bad and vice versa. Above all\, she believes that kindness is a neutralizer for many character flaws.  \nBrendan Constantine was born in Los Angeles\, the second child of actors Michael Constantine and Julianna McCarthy. An ardent supporter of Southern California’s poetry communities and one of its most recognized poets\, he has served as a teacher of poetry in local schools and colleges since 1995. \nHis first collection\, ‘Letters to Guns\,’ was released in February 2009 from Red Hen Press to wide acclaim. This was followed in 2011 by ‘Birthday Girl With Possum\,’ under the performance based publisher Write Bloody\, and established Mr. Constantine as a poet equally at home on the page and the stage.  His work can be found in many of the nation’s standards\, including Poetry\, Tin House\, Best American Poetry\, Poem-a-Day\, Virginia Quarterly\, Rattle\, Prairie Schooner\, Field\, Chautauqua\, and Poetry Daily. His most recent collections are ‘Dementia\, My Darling’ (2016) from Red Hen Press and ‘Bouncy Bounce’ (2018)\, a chapbook from Blue Horse Press.  \nMr. Constantine has received support from the Getty Museum\, James Irvine Foundation\, and the National Endowment for the Arts. A popular performer\, Brendan has presented his work to audiences throughout the U.S. and Europe\, also appearing on NPR’s All Things Considered\, TED ED\, numerous podcasts\, and YouTube. He currently teaches creative writing at the Windward School. \nIn addition\, he brings poetry workshops to veterans\, hospitals\, foster care centers\, & shelters for the homeless. He is also very proud of his work with the Alzheimer’s Poetry Project. Since 2017\, he has been working with speech pathologist Michael Biel to develop the first poetry workshop for people dealing with Aphasia. \nHis sister Thea Constantine is a novelist and teacher in Portland\, Oregon. \n  \n___________________________________________________________________ \nWe will be meeting via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Show Us Your Papers Anthology Reading\, online
DESCRIPTION:“Show Us Your Papers speaks to a crisis of identity and belonging\, to an increasing sense of vulnerability amid rapid changes in the USA. While corporations wait to assign us a number\, here are 81 poets who demand full identities\, richer than those allowed by documents of every sort. Here are poems of immigration and concentration camps\, of refugees and wills\, marriage and divorce\, of lost correspondence and found parents\, of identity theft and medical charts. In an era where the databases multiply\, where politicians and tech companies sort us into endless categories\, identifying documents serve as thumbtacks. They freeze the dancing\, lurching\, rising and falling experience of our lives. The disconnect between our documents and our identities is inherent\, reductive\, frustrating\, and\, too often\, dangerous. Yet we cannot live without them. In this anthology 81 poets offer a richer sense of our lives and histories—richer than any “official paper” allows. These lyric and narrative forms demand that readers recognize our full identities: personal\, familial\, national\, and historical.” \nJOIN US online at the Zoom event via this link: https://wested.zoom.us/j/96048022438 \nSIGN UP to read via Google Sheets: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Ur5LB5ddBNp7ccDb4Sli8ebCspTKue1bv2uFjwPd4Ws/edit?usp=sharing \nJoan Bauer\nJoan E.

SUMMARY:Mariano Zaro
DESCRIPTION:MARIANO ZARO is the author of five previous books of poetry\, most recently Padre Tierra (Olifante\, Zaragoza\, Spain). His poems are included in anthologies and literary journals in the USA\, Mexico and Spain. He has translated into Spanish the American poets Philomene Long\, Tony Barnstone and Sholeh Wolpé. In 2018\, he received the Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing Fiction Prize. Zaro hosts a series of video-interviews with prominent poets as part of the literary project Poetry.LA. He is a professor of Spanish at Rio Hondo Community College (Whittier\, CA). \n“Pick up this book and inhabit Mariano Zaro’s world: his boyhood in a Spanish village\, hanging plums in strings from the ceiling with his father\, the farmer\, the inverted heart shape of a hole in a woman’s face\, the way the boy needed and was given permission to look\, and brought to bear that same humane and unsparing gaze on himself and his own desires\, on intimacy and estrangement\, on Spain and California. In Decoding Sparrows\, Mariano Zaro renders coming of age and hunger in spare and luminous language\, an almost crystalline austerity— each word resonant\, each word steadfast. Zaro illuminates\, he limns his poems in longing.”\n—Marsha de la O\, author of Every Ravening Thing \n“These poems are written in the erotics of the everyday\, as if the overflowing sensuality of Cavafy had a love-child with the chaste and restrained style of Raymond Carver. It is like a casting call for a novel by Gabriel García Márquez. And it is real. And it is magical.”\n—Tony Barnstone\, author of Pulp Sonnets
