SUMMARY:Poetry on Sunday Series
DESCRIPTION:Come join us at the Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock for our quarterly reading series! Download the PDF flyer at right\, and read more about our featured poets below: \nLinda Marie Prather has five published chapbooks\, the latest being Painting Your Absence (Dry Creek Press.) Unforced Rhythms (Finishing Line Press) won 3rd Place award in the NLAPW 2014 Letters Competition. Her full-length book\, Summer Song\, was published in 2016. She edits for Song of The San Joaquin\, is a member of National League of American Pen Women\, in Arts and Letters. Her poetry appears in More Than Soil\, More Than Sky/ The Modesto Poets. Linda is published widely and has received prizes from Penumbra\, Poets’ Dinner Contest\, Ina Coolbrith Circle\, the Golden Pegasus Award\, and has been nominated twice for a Pushcart Prize. \n\nI was born into the name of Janette Jameson in Santa Cruz\, California. At seven\, my family moved to Torreon\, Mexico\, where my father became a principal of an American School. As a second grader\, I was thrust into a new language and culture. I received a bilingual education\, learning my times tables in Spanish and my addition in English. I experienced the constant back-and-forth between two worlds\, and as a result was outsider to both. \nI have always loved words—their use and their layered meanings. They feel almost tangible—to be worked with and at times played with. I have also always read\, since picking up my first Nancy Drew mystery and spending most of the day on the couch until the end of the book. In being bilingual\, I am very aware of the nuances in words and how much can be lost in translation. Bridges are important metaphors as well as a space where no language exists. The challenge in poetry is bringing words to places that already stand alone. I try to capture brief moments of observed life which become a springboard for a later poem. \nI’m a retired social worker\, married with two young adult daughters. I’ve lived in Modesto for the past twenty-six years\, still looking for home perhaps by an oak tree. \n\nDana Koster is the author of Binary Stars (Carolina Wren Press 2017). She was a Wallace Stegner Fellow. Her poems have appeared in EPOCH\, Indiana Review\, Southern Humanities Review\, The Cincinnati Review\, MUZZLE\, Thrush Poetry Journal\, Radar Poetry\, and many others. She lives in Modesto\, California with her husband and two sons\, where she works as a wedding photographer. \n\nIfe-Chudeni A. Oputa is a writer\, editor\, and the author of Rummage\, which won the 2015 Little A Poetry Contest and is a 2018 Lambda Literary Award finalist. She is a Cave Canem\, Callaloo\, and Lambda Literary fellow. Her poetry and prose have appeared in Crab Orchard Review\, Some Call it Ballin\, Gabby\, the Los Angeles Review of Books\, and elsewhere. She is a native of Fresno\, CA.

She lives in Modesto with her husband of 49 years\, Leroy. \nLynn M. Hansen\, author of Flicker\, Poems by Lynn M. Hansen\, has lived in the Modesto\, California area since 1955.

SUMMARY:Poetry on Sunday Series @ Carnegie
DESCRIPTION:Come join us at the Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock for our next installment of the quarterly Poetry on Sunday series\, featuring Angela Morales Salinas\, Nancy Haskett\, Sarah Haskett\, and Katy Brown. This event is FREE and open to the public\, with an open mic following the reading. Join us in celebrating the spoken word! \nDownload the PDF flyer here.\n \nPoet and photographer Katy Brown\, whose work frequently appears on Medusa’s Kitchen Blogspot and Convergence\, has won awards in The Ina Coolbrith Circle\, The Berkeley Poets’ Dinner\, and The International Dance Poetry Competition.  Her poetry has been in Brevities\, Rattlesnake Review\, The Song of San Joaquin\, Poetalk\, Persimmon Tree\, and Harpstrings\, as well as in several anthologies such as Sacramento Voices\, Entering\, and Fog and Woodsmoke.  Other writing credits include\, automobile humor\, greeting cards\, a multiple-ending book\, a poetry workbook\, and a series of short mysteries for young readers.   Her secret power is that she can catch a lizard with a blade of grass. \nNancy Haskett has been writing since she was in high school. An educator for over 30 years\, she retired in 2011 and is an active member of the poetry community in Modesto\, CA. She is a member of the Ina Coolbrith Circle\, MoSt (Modesto Stanislaus Poetry Center)\, National League of American Penwomen and other local writing groups. Nancy has presented her poetry at the Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock\, CA and has been published in many places\, including the anthology More than Soil\, More than Sky; Stanislaus Connections; Penumbra; Homestead Review; Iodine Press; Song of the San Joaquin; The Pen Woman\, and more. In her spare time\, Nancy enjoys reading\, traveling\, and spending time with her family. \nSarah Haskett is the daughter of an English teacher and an artist; surrounded by these inspirations\, she has\, not surprisingly\, been writing poetry since she was a child.  She is a high school English Honors and Creative Writing teacher\, and therefore much of her inspiration to write comes from her classroom\, as well as the injustices of society.  Having recently graduated as a Master in Teaching for Social Justice\, Sarah finds ways to meld her passion for writing with her passion for bringing awareness to those social issues.  Her writings have been published by Modesto Poet’s Corner\, Stanislaus Connections\, and the booklet she publishes with her Creative Writing students each year.  In her almost non-existent spare time\, she likes to travel and hike with her husband and their two dogs\, Ringo and Whiskey. \nAngela Morales Salinas is a retired kindergarten teacher who writes poetry for love. She has been published locally in Penumbra\, Something So Write\, Stanislaus Connections\, and hardpan. \nAngela states\, “I came to this country speaking nothing but Spanish. When I went to school\, I quickly learned to speak English. I fell in love with how two languages could work together to create something unique. I have been in the San Joaquin Valley for most of my life\, starting at the very southern end\, Kern County\, and making my way slowly but surely up north. I have chosen to work in a neighborhood that many people do not like to think about. I understand. It is hard to look at want and fear because if you are not careful that is all you will see. You have to be able to look past that and see the absolute joy and hope that is there beneath the surface. This crazy mix of languages\, people\, and ideas has been my inspiration. There is beauty in the ugliness\, and harshness masks a gentleness that’s also there. If I can give voice to what our valley is trying to tell us\, I will have done I think\, what I was sent to do. But to accomplish this I know I must listen carefully\, look deeply and allow love to guide my voice.”

She has just published her first collection of poems entitled Alkali Sink (Sixteen Rivers Press\, 2015). \nJESSICA DICKMAN is a Central Valley native\, but as a child she grew up both in the heat of the Arizona desert and the iciness of New England. Returning to the Central Valley in her post-adolescent years\, Dickman attended Modesto Junior College and completed her B.A. in English at CSU Stanislaus. She is a current graduate student in Rhetoric and Teaching Writing. Dickman\, an avid yogi\, molds young minds as a substitute teacher and tutor.
