Upcoming First Saturday Readings in 2020: As of April 2020, no in-person open readings scheduled due to COVID-19 but online Zoom readings in the works starting this fall (let us know if you're interested) Be well and safe everyone! And keep in touch. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The International Art Museum of America (San Francisco) has invited BAPC to collaborate on a virtual poetry night for the Museum. This will be a live recorded event. Date and details to be discussed. If you're interested in participating, send via email a brief bio, sample poem and contact info to: bapc.poetalk@gmail.com We will forward it the Museum's Program & Events Assistant for consideration. "We don't have a particular subject or criteria in mind, other than just an appreciation for museums and artists. We also do receive a range of age groups attending our live events so both youth and adults could be attending. Other than that, we like to leave it up to your creative expression."
