Sumer is Icumen in
One of the oldest rounds in English is "Sumer is Icumen in." See the manuscript here. It's so warm today here in Oakland, and the birds are singing so loudly in our back yard, that it feels like summer's on it's way. I have two readings scheduled for this summer, and I hope those of you in the SF Bay Area will save the dates.
The first is at the Berkeley Poetry Festival on Saturday, June 5, in front of the old Cody's bookstore at Telegraph and Haste. I'll be reading at 2:30 PM; the festival lasts from 12:30 to 6. I'll post more details soon.
The second is at Works in Progress (WIP), a women-only reading hosted by Linda Zeiser, on July 10, where I'm honored to be featured with Giovanna Capone. WIP will move to a new location in Piedmont that evening; details to follow.
You can find three poems of mine online now in Apparatus Magazine, edited by Adam W. Hart. Those of you who are poets and writers, be sure to let me know about your readings and publications, too! Enjoy the warmer weather.

Dear Friends,
Save the date, if you live in the SF Bay Area! I'll be among several featured readers at Works in Progress, an open mic for women. Good food, live music. NB: there's an admission fee. If you want to read, best to call Linda, the organizer (below), WELL before the reading, as the open mic list often fills up even before the show. Hope to see some of you women there! Though this is a lesbian-run reading, all women are welcome.
Warmly,
Jan
