Community Poetry Readings with UCSB Reads and Goleta Valley Library
Community Poetry Readings with UCSB Reads and Goleta Valley Library
Join UCSB Reads and Goleta Valley Library for an afternoon of poetry readings in celebration of National Poetry Month.
The event will kick off with a reading by current Santa Barbara Poet Laureate George Yatchisin and UCSB Professor Emerita Shirley Geok-Lin Lim. Afterward, other participants will read their selected poems to the audience.
Inspired by UCSB Reads and this year’s selection, Crying in H Mart, the event highlights poetry as a creative practice that, like memoir, allows personal stories to take form through creative expression and be shared with others.
