Her work has appeared in Quercus Review\, Penumbra\, Song of the San Joaquin\, California Quarterly\, and other journals\, as well as in the anthology The Place That Inhabits Us: Poems from the San Francisco Bay Watershed (Sixteen Rivers Press\, 2010).

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.

He is a retired high school English teacher who divides his time between the Bay Area and the Sierra Nevada. \nLINDA MARIE PRATHER says much of her poetry is inspired by what Charles Wright speaks of as\, “language\, landscape\, and the idea of God”.

Linda has four chapbooks published\, the latest Unforced Rhythms\, from Finishing Line Press\, which won 3rd Place award in the NLAPW 2014 Biennial Letters Competition. Her first full-length manuscript\, Summer Song\, is waiting to be released.

SUMMARY:Second Tuesday Reading: Beratlis\, Wickes\, and Robertson
DESCRIPTION:Join us for cake and poetry as we celebrate the release of three new Sixteen Rivers Press collections: Alkali Sink by Stella Beratlis\, World as We Left It by Helen Wickes\, and The Orbit of Known Objects by Lisa Erin Robertson. \n“Stella Beratlis writes unforgettable poems that stir inside you long after you’ve finished reading them. Alkali Sink is simultaneously domestic and wild\, urban and rural\, full of surprises and wisdom. Your axis may shift after reading this remarkable book. Beratlis is a fierce talent whose beautiful mind encompasses the land\, the open road\, the kitchen window\, and the heart’s inconstancies. Her first full-length collection is one of the best debuts I have read.”   —Lee Herrick\, author of Gardening Secrets of the Dead \n“Such good poems in Helen Wickes’ new collection\, poems about memory and loss that skillfully combine the startling poetic image (“off we’d go // into the cold air’s bright teeth”) and exuberant colloquial language (“everyone knows I don’t like dogs—/ the smell\, the noise\, and the drool”). At the heart of World as You Left It are the poems centering on the poet’s late father — both hilarious (as in “Loot\,” about his old address book with its delicious list of big blonds and “sweet patooties”) and mysterious\, as touching as they are enlivening.”\n-Lloyd Schwartz \n“In The Orbit of Known Objects\, Lisa Erin Robertson explores memory and history\, especially through the eyes of women and family. She is a poet intimate with loss and regret\, as well as persistence and resolve. She knows\, as another writer from the South put it\, that “the past is never dead. It’s not even past.” In the universe of her poems\, buried moments cast off their dirt and rise again for the consideration of her readers. Robertson is a poet of exquisite sensibilities\, with a generous heart and an eye for the sadness and beauty of our brief\, mysterious lives.”\n—Edward Falco \nEvent starts at 6:30 pm (please note slight time change!) with featured readers and concludes with open mic. Please join us to help celebrate the publication of these collections\, and feel free to download and share the FLYER!
