Joseph self-published three books of poems in 2017: Human Grace\, Cats Can’t Use Straws\, and Sky Gardens. Joseph likes to work in rhyme and meter\, writing mostly shorter poems. His writing has been published in the Sacramento Voices anthology (2017) and will be published in its upcoming 2018 Edition\, in Poetry Now\, an online quarterly journal of the Sacramento Poetry Center\, and in Collision V\, an anthology of poetry from local poets in combination with artistic photography from local professional photographers. He is an active member of the Sacramento Poetry Center and the Modesto-Stanislaus Poetry Center. \nCamille Norton’s book\, A Folio for the Dark\, was chosen for publication by Sixteen Rivers Press during its 2017 open reading period.

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.

SUMMARY:Second Tuesday @ Barkin' Dog
DESCRIPTION:The Second Tuesday Poetry Reading is as late in the month as it can get\, so be sure to mark your calendar for August 14 at 6:00 at the Barkin’ Dog Grill. \nThis month’s featured readers are DW Schmidt and Kathleen Winter\, and of course\, our featured readers will be followed by an open mic\, so bring a poem or two to share. \nD.W. Schmidt has written much more prose than poetry.  When he started writing poetry\, he felt the poems happened accidentally\, like they found him\, which was probably the influence of the great imagist poets he has taught in his college classes for so long.  Lately\, he has allowed his poems to be more topical\, personal\, phrase-driven\, and ultimately more intentional. \nKathleen Winter is the author of I will not kick my friends (2018)\, which won the Elixir Poetry Prize\, and Nostalgia for the Criminal Past\, winner of the Texas Institute of Letters Bob Bush Memorial Award. Her poems have appeared in Tin House\, Agni\, New Statesman\, New Republic and Yale Review. She was granted fellowships by Sewanee Writers’ Conference\, Dobie Paisano Ranch\, Dora Maar House\, James Merrill House and Cill Rialaig Retreat.

SUMMARY:Second Tuesday @ Barkin' Dog
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Second Tuesday Barkin’ Dog reading on July 10 at 6:00 at the Barkin’ Dog Grill in downtown Modesto. We’ll have an evening of writing inspired by the poetry of Thomas Merton\, hosted by Ed Bearden. An open mic will follow the featured reading\, so bring a poem or two to share. \nAbout the Thomas Merton Poetry Group: In February of 2016 Deacon George Cano of St. Paul’s Episcopalian Church\, convened the Thomas Merton poetry group. It was began to provide more than chit-chat\, but rather to encourage spiritual growth. Poetry\, as another way to pray. Meeting twice a month\, the group wrote and published Poetic Prayer: writing from the soul. Meditation\ntechniques from Buddhist traditions or centering prayer were used to access the poetic well. The group consists of Deacon George Cano\, Ed Bearden\, Roberta Bearden\, Jeanette Comegys\, Stephanie Gilmer\, Sarah B. Hartmann\, Judy Miller\, Linda Marie Prather and Cheryl Russel Pogue. Others would be welcome to join the writing and fellowship.
