Sacramento Writers' Workshop Friday Reading
The poetry reading and reception at the Sacramento Poetry headquarters Friday night marked the beginning of the Sacramento Writers' Workshop. The three readers, William O' Daly, Libby Kovacs, and Susan Kelly-DeWitt, are a talented lot. Daly is the famous translator of Pablo Neruda (he has translated eleven Neruda collecions). He read from his different translations and gave us a taste of two of his poems. He believes that after working on Neruda for twenty-five years, he is ready to focus on his own writing.

Libby Kovacs was married to the Pulitzer winning poet James Wright, whom she left in 1962 when she made her own expedition to San Francisco where her own writing career took off. She shared her experiences as a daughter of Greek immigrant parents and as a wife of James Wright.
