Five Poets Read in Celebration of Native American Heritage Month
5:00 – 6:30 pm/ PT
FREE Virtual Event!
Five contributors to Red Indian Road West: Native American Poetry from California (Scarlet Tanager Books) will read in celebration of Native American Heritage Month. California has the largest Native American population of any state, and possibly the most diverse, representing Native Nations from across the U.S. as well as those indigenous to California.
Poets Reading:
Lucille Lang Day (Wampanoag) is the author of eleven poetry collections and chapbooks, most recently Birds of San Pancho and Other Poems of Place, and coeditor of Red Indian Road West: Native American Poetry from California and Fire and Rain: Ecopoetry of California.
Jennifer Elise Foerster (Mvskoke) has two poetry collections from the University of Arizona Press: Leaving Tulsa and Bright Raft in the Afterweather. She coedited When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through: A Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry with Joy Harjo and Leanne Howe.
Dave Holt (Ojibwe), originally from Canada, is a musician and songwriter in addition to being a poet whose book Voyages to Ancestral Islands received an Artists Embassy International Literary / Cultural Arts Award.
Linda Noel (Koyoonk’auwi), former Poet Laureate of Ukiah, has worked in When the Light of the World was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through, The Dirt is Red Here, and many other anthologies.
Stephen Meadows (Ohlone) is a Californian of pioneer and Ohlone descent. His first poetry collection, Releasing the Days, was published by Heyday. His new collection, Winter Work, will be out soon.
I would like to attend Five Poets Read on November 30.
Thanks!
a significant event. I look forward to it.
