Poetry Santa Cruz presents Marjorie Simon and Curt Anderson

Tuesday, April 14, 2015 - 7:30pm

Marjorie Simon became beguiled by poetry when she was a child and has remained hooked even as part of her has grown up. She co-edited Kayak, the poetry magazine of her late partner, George Hitchcock. Her books include The Long Distance Oatmeal Eater (Jazz Press, 1985) and Adam & Eve, etc. with George Fuller (Jazz Press, 1981). Her work has also appeared in various literary periodicals.

Curt Anderson’s first full-length book of poems is The Occasionist. Al Young says, “In ways that dare, stun or delight, his watchful poems signal divinity. Again and again, they point to the vast outback of mysteries that occasion life-jammed moments that cry out or whisper.” His poems have appeared in Poetry, Exquisite Corpse, Barrow Street, and many other journals, and his poem “Platonic Love” was published in The Poetry Anthology, 1912-2002: Ninety Years of America’s Most Distinguished Verse.

Poetry Santa Cruz is dedicated to nurturing the poetry community and bringing poetry to the larger community in Santa Cruz County. They generally hold monthly meetings at Bookshop Santa Cruz on the second Tuesday of the month. The suggested donation is $3. Please go to the Poetry Santa Cruz website or contact Len Anderson for more information about the poets featured this month.
