More at Zennie62.com | Follow me on Twitter! | Get my widget! | Visit YouTube | Visit UShow.com I saw this at the blog "The Daily Clog" by The Daily Californian and it reports on a cool event held at the very comfortable Morrison Library within Doe Library at Cal in Berkeley this Thursday. It's called simply "Lunch Poems" and starts at 12 noon. According to the website for Lunch Poems , the series is hosted by Robert Hass , who served as America's Poet Laureate of The United States (POLTUS) from 1995 to 1997 and is a Pulitzer-Prize winner. Joining him Thursday will be members of the UC Berkeley English Department reading their own work. They are: Melanie Abrams, C. D. Blanton, Vikram Chandra, Eric Falci, Mark Goble, David Landreth, Namwali Serpell, and Emily Thornbury. Visit Morrison and get there early to grab a couch before they're taken. Almost like the old Parkway in Oakland!
