Presents
30th Anniversary Event for the Sacramento Poetry Center
Monday, October 26 at 7:30 PM
1719 25th Street at HQ for the Arts
The Sacramento Poetry Center - Sacramento's center for the literary arts since 1979, marks its anniversary with the release of Keepers of the Flame: The First 30 Years. Keepers, published by Rattlesnake Press, was collected and edited by Mary Zeppa, Kate Asche, and Emmanuel Sigauke.
“Our goal is to give the reader a series of glimpses into the first 30 years of the Sacramento Poetry Center. Think of it as the in-print version of a highlight reel, brought to on-paper life by the remarkable generosity and amazing tech savvy of Photographer Charlie McComish and Graphic Designer Richard Hansen.”
It’s going to be a festive night, a relaxed and celebratory gathering, light on formal presentation. The Editors plan to talk a little about SPC’s history and about the project. Contributors to Keepers (which includes an interview with Theresa Vinciguerra and brief essays by Julia Connor, MerryLee Croslin, Victoria Dalkey, Patrick Grizzell, Heather Hutcheson, Susan Kelly-DeWitt, Bob Stanley and Stan Zumbiel) Publisher Kathy Kieth, Graphic Designer Hansen and Photographer McComish have also been invited to join in the discussion.
Libations and light refreshments will be provided. And, in the spirit of the occasion, the walls of SPC will display a sampling of photos, posters and “artifacts” from the Center’s first 30 years.
By a delightful piece of serendipity, the celebration will take place on (by then Mayor Anne Rudin’s proclamation) Sacramento Poetry Day. Please join us for the October 26 festivities at SPC, 1719 25th Street (in the California Stage complex at 25th and R) 7:30 - 10:00pm.
