SUMMARY:Poetry on Sunday @ Carnegie
DESCRIPTION:Come join us at the Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock for our next installment of the quarterly Poetry on Sunday series\, featuring Laura Bayliss\, Pat Egenberger\, Lynn M. Hansen\, and Jennifer Lagier. This event is FREE and open to the public\, with an open mic following the reading. Join us in celebrating the spoken word! \nClick here to download the PDF flyer. \nLaura Bayless is the author of three collections of poetry\, The Edge of the Nest\, White Streams and Touchstones\, and Persistent Dreams. Her poems have appeared in local and national publications\, and anthologies\, including Dancing on the Brink of the World\, Selected Poems of Point Lobos\, Porter Gulch Review\, The Homestead Review\, and Blue Heron. She is co-editor of an award-winning compilation of stories and poems about the Carmel River – Passion for Place. She participated in seven Women’s Voices readings at the Carl Cherry Center in Carmel and multiple Women and Food art and poetry presentations on the Monterey Peninsula. “In the practice of writing poems I find what has been waiting for me\, what sheds another layer of pretense. I am uplifted\, enriched\, reconciled\, and reminded of all that I do not know. I cast my poems to itinerant winds\, unquestioning of where they might reseed in the meadow of another heart.” \nPat Egenberger‘s first published poems appeared in the early 1970’s in Original Works\, a multi-language journal. Locally\, Song of the san Joaquin\, Modesto Poets’ Corner\, and Between Sheets have published her poems over the years. Her work was included in the anthology More Than Soil More Than Sky\, the Modesto Poets. Other publications include Spirit of the Rose Journal\, Women Talking\, Women Listening\, and Medicine Jug. Pat taught for about 38 years in public schools–middle school through university–various subjects\, such as English\, foreign languages\, art/drama electives\, and video production. She enjoys learning foreign languages\, exploring various art media\, doing volunteer work\, and spending special time with grandchildren. 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. Her roots are rural as reflected in her poetry celebrating Valley living. A naturalist and trained biologist she uses her poetry to immortalize natural environments like vernal pools and grasslands special to the Central Valley. She is Past President of the Modesto Chapter of National League of American Pen Women\, a founding member of MoSt Poetry Center\, a member and 2014 Grand Prize winner of the Ina Coolbrith Circle’s annual Poets’ Dinner Contest. Her poems have appeared in The Pen Woman; More Than Soil\, More Than Sky\, an Anthology of the Modesto Poets; Quercus Review; hardpan; and Song of the San Joaquin\, among others. She lives with her husband Richard Anderson in Modesto\, California not far from the Tuolumne River\, lifeblood for Valley farmers and spawning salmon. \nJennifer Lagier has published ten books and in literary magazines. She taught with California Poets in the Schools\, co-edits the Homestead Review\, helps coordinate monthly Monterey Bay Poetry Consortium Second Sunday readings. Forthcoming books: Harbingers (Blue Light Press)\, Scene of the Crime (Evening Street Press)\, Camille Abroad (FutureCycle). Website: http://jlagier.net

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.”
