Poet and editor Marsha de la O from Ventura will be our featured reader. Her most recent book is Creature, which she shared on the poetry stage at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at USC in April. Other books by Marsha include Antidote for Night and Every Ravening Thing. The last time she joined us was in July 2019. We hope you will participate in the open reading. The evening’s theme is “Passages,” but no one need feel bound by it. Hope to see you there!
