SUMMARY:Hand\, De Leon\, Robles w/ Fellinis
DESCRIPTION:Curated by SFJAZZ Poet Laureate Genny Lim\, this year’s festival will again feature the greatest poets of the Bay Area and beyond\, centered on the concept of “wordology.” \n  \n\n\n\n\nAya de Leon is a novelist who teaches at the University of California Berkeley. She first came to national attention as a spoken word artist in the underground poetry scene in the San Francisco Bay Area\, and a hip-hop theater artist. de Leon is of Puerto Rican\, African American\, and West Indian heritage\, and much of her work explores issues of race\, gender\, socio-economic class\, body and nation. Part of San Francisco Slam Team (they won the Western Region Poetry Slam in 2000. In 2001\, she began to develop the hip hop theater show\, “Thieves in the Temple: The Reclaiming of Hip Hop” focused on fighting sexism and consumerism in hip hop [1][2] She began her college teaching career at Stanford University in 2001. In 2006\, she was chosen as the Director of June Jordan’s Poetry for the People at UC Berkeley\, where she currently teaches poetry and spoken word. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTony Robles\, a self described “Friscopino”\, born and raised San Francisco\, is author of 2 poetry/short story collections\, Fingerprints of a Hunger Strike and Cool Don’t Live Here No More–A letter to San Francisco\, published by Ithuriel’s Spear Press. Tony was a short list finalist for Poet Laureate of San Francisco\, 2017\, and is the recipient of the individual literary artist grant from the SF Art Commission 2017. Says current SF Poet Laureate Kim Shuck\, “Tony speaks of the city as a relative with a life threatening illness\, with love and anger.” \n\n\n\n\n  \nThe Broun Fellinis are a jazz/hip-hop trio hailing from the Bay Area whose members include percussionist Professor Boris Karnaz (born Kevin Carnes)\, bassist Kirk the Redeemer\, and woodwind player Black Edgar Kenyatta. Their debut\, Aphrokubist Improvisations\, Vol. 9\, was released in 1995. The group has created their own mythology explaining their origins — they claim to be from the mythical land of Boohaabia\, which floats off the coast of Madagascar and is surrounded by the Phat Temple\, the Ministry of Imagination\, and the Oasis of Surprise\, which are all at equal distances from Boohaabia. Further\, Karnaz claims that Boohaabia may be reached through the group’s music\, or perhaps through Kirk the Redeemer’s bass cabinet if the pilgrim has brought him some cashews; Karnaz promises that the listener’s chair will then sink six inches into the sand and giraffes will appear\, ready to take the listener wherever he may want to go. – by Steve Hue

SUMMARY:Lone Glen: Poetry w/Chernoff/Edgerton/Gibbons
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Temescal Art Center in Oakland for our first Lone Glen of the season at 8 pm on Saturday\, April 7th to celebrate the magnetic poetry of Maxine Chernoff\, Michael Tod Edgerton\, and Heather June Gibbons. Of Camera\, Chernoff’s recent release from Subito press\, Camille T. Dungy writes\, “[These poems] are precise in just the way art is precise. They frame the word as a camera’s lens might frame a portion of what the eye might apprehend\, adding a finely wrought filter of human feeling to the arbitrary world.” We’re thrilled to witness that frame\, and to listen to charismatic Heather June Gibbons read from her debut book of poems\, and to welcome poet Michael Tod Edgerton to the Bay Area.\n\nAbout the writers: \nMaxine Chernoff is the author of six works of fiction and 16 collections of poetry\, most recently Camera (Subito) and Here (Counterpath). Winner an NEA in poetry and the PEN Translation Prize\, she was a recent Visiting Writer at the American Academy in Rome. \nMichael Tod Edgerton is the author of Vitreous Hide (Lavender Ink 2013). His poems have appeared previously as the winner of the Boston Review and Five Fingers Review contests\, and in Coconut\, Denver Quarterly\, Drunken Boat\, EOAGH\, New American Writing\, New Orleans Review\, Sonora Review\, and Word For/Word\, among other journals. Tod holds an MFA in Literary Arts from Brown University and a PhD in English and Creative Writing from the University of Georgia. He lives with his husband\, Greg\, in San Francisco. You can check out Tod’s ongoing participatory text and sound project at WhatMostVividly.com. \nHeather June Gibbons is the author of Her Mouth as Souvenir\, winner of the 2017 Agha Shahid Ali Poetry Prize and forthcoming from the University of Utah Press\, and the chapbooks Sore Songs and Flyover. A graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, she teaches creative writing at San Francisco State University and in the community. \nAbout the series: \nLone Glen\, now in its seventh year\, is a quarterly art-centric reading and performance series dedicated to creating a down-to-earth\, inclusive space among writers and artists of all genres. Suggested donation for this reading is $5-$10 but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Learn more about Lone Glen and our history at https://loneglen.wordpress.com/ \nAbout the Venue: \nTemescal Art Center is located at 511 48TH street\, Oakland. The venue can be accessed via a wide ramp and its bathroom is equipped with hand rails. \n
