A Gaggle of Poets - McKinley Park Poets visit SPC

Rebecca Morrison, Andy Anderson, Bill Davis and more entertained last night with their special reading. This group of several former peace corps workers and other concerned Sacramentans have written a body of work that would amaze and delight any audience, let alone the experienced reader/listeners at SPC.

This "Gaggle of McKinley Park Poets" have taken an active role in helping the world out with stays in places as diverse as Kenya, Chile and Kosovo. Their poetry is as diverse and interesting. A packed house at SPC HQ enjoyed the show.

Luna's Readings

Mario Ellis Hill hosts on First Thursdays of the month at Luna's Cafe on 16th Street, near O street. He, and some other poets, had lovely voice music and wood flute blended in with their poems and words. We missed him at the African American History Month readings at SPC, but he is still doing a stellar job for the literary community. Find an interview with Mario in the archives of our Poetry Now journal on SPC's website http://www.sacramentopoetrycenter.org
