Second Tuesday @ Barkin’ Dog

October’s 2nd Tuesday Reading Series is on Tuesday, October 10 at 6:00 at the Barkin’ Dog! Our featured readers are Andrena Zawinski and Jim Beggs.

Andrena Zawinski was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA but has made the San Francisco Bay Area her home since 2000. Her latest collection of poetry is Landings. She has two previous collections: Something About (a PEN Oakland Josephine Miles Award) and Traveling in Reflected Light (a Kenneth Patchen Poetry Prize). Her poetry has received accolades for lyricism, form, spirituality, and social concern. She is also Features Editor at PoetryMagazine.com.

Jim Beggs has only written perhaps seven poems, but he has written about a poet–his book on Henry Reed (“Naming of Parts”)–and he has set a dozen familiar poems to music or matched them to songs we all know and love.
