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!
