BAY AREA POETS COALITION
BAPC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer organization (established 1974) in Northern California.

BAPC publishes POETALK magazine, conducts an ANNUAL POETRY CONTEST
and (along with sponsoring special events in the San Francisco Bay Area)
hosts an OPEN POETRY READING the first Saturday (typically) of every month in Berkeley, California.
 
 
 
BAPC OPEN POETRY READING
 
Next FIRST SATURDAY reading:
 
March 6, 2010, 3:00 - 5:00 PM
 
This month's reading will be dedicated In Memoriam to
 
WALTER LIGGETT 
(Jan. 9, 1924 - Jan. 10, 2010)
 
Walter was a longtime, devoted BAPC member
and the self-proclaimed "Haiku Master of Berkeley".
We will read some of Walter's haiku and other poems,
share memories and reflections. Hope you can join us
to honor the creative life of our friend Walter.  
 
 
STRAWBERRY CREEK LODGE
1320 Addison St., Berkeley, CA
 
Addison is one block south of and parallel to University Ave.
between Acton & Bonar St.
Parking on the street (NOT in the S.C.L. parking lot)

Check in at the front desk and you will be directed to the meeting location
(usually 4th Fl Movie Room, or backyard/garden during warmer months).
 
All Ages Welcome
 
Come and enjoy a friendly and informal read-around --
3-5 minutes per poet/reader, or "just listening" is fine too :-)
