TUITION IS $400

Pre-registration & $100 deposit required.
Register early! Class size is limited.

At its root, much poetry is autobiographical, even when it is not overtly so.

We rely on our experience for much of what we create.

This weekend will help us access our memories and find different ways to transform them while remaining genuine and avoiding a false "literary" tone.

We will explore our built-in taboos, and our desire to "look good" in the reader's eyes, which so often hinders the full development of a work.

We will use visualization, discussion, and various writing exercises, and read successful poems and prose poems which relied on autobiographical material. Everyone, from beginners to professional writers, is welcome.

Diane di Prima is the author of 44 books of poetry and prose. Her work has been translated into over 20 languages. The New York Poets Theatre, Poets Press, and Eidolon Editions were co-founded by her. Diane is a student of Tibetan Buddhism as well as a practitioner of Western Magick. She has taught at CIIS, CCAC, The SF Art Institute, and Naropa Institute.Opening to the Poem, a book of essays on poetry and writing exercises, will be published by Penguin next year. In 2006 Diane was awarded the Fred Cody Award for Lifetime Achievement and Community Service. In 2008 she received the Reginald Lockett Award for Lifetime Achievement from PEN Oakland. She has just been appointed Poet Laureate of San Francisco.

MOON

A film by Duncan Jones
Sony Pictures Classics
Starring
Sam Rockwell
Kevin Spacey

Reviewed by Carl Macki

SaSam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is an angry lonely astronaut caretaker at a moon base run by Lunar Industries, a company that has been harvesting helium isotope 3, which is by now (some unspecified time in the future) a vital component of the Earth's energy needs.

He is finishing up a three year tour of duty, and his only company is robot at the base (voice by Kevin Spacey). The live telecommunications link to Easth is broken, and the company never fixed it. He can only receive messages indirectly, relayed through Jupiter. After a ceash in a lunar explorer with one of the robotic harvesters, he barely makes it back to the base to recover from his injuries, only to meet another version of himself. That's when things get really interested in this instant sci fi classic, directed by Duncan Jones (aka Zowie Bowie).

SITE-BASED PRACTICES
a workshop led by David Buuck & Jessica Tully
Marin Headlands Bunkers
Sunday June 21, 11am-2pm
co-sponsored by the Headlands Center for the Arts

Please join writer David Buuck and artist Jessica Tully for a site-specific workshop at the former military bunkers in the Marin Headlands. We will explore a wide range of methods and practices related to site-based writing and art practices, including several on-site exercises and experiments. This workshop is designed for ALL levels of interested writers and artists, to explore how we engage place, site, environment and the political histories therein as writers, artists, and citizens. We will discuss and explore writing and research techniques as well as much more performative and embodied strategies of site-work, so be prepared to try new ways of thinking, moving, and working!

David Buuck is an alumni artist in residence this June at Headlands Center for the Arts. He is contributing editor at Artweek, and teaches at the San Francisco Art Institute. Recent publications include The Shunt (Palm Press)and Buried Treasure Island, a guidebook printed in conjunction with an installation and audio-tour by Barge (the Bay Area Research Group in Enviro-aesthetics) .

Jessica Tully is a conceptual artist working at the intersection of culture and politics. From hip-hop water ballet to a rock opera of live construction equipment to voter education drives, her site-specific performances, videos, drawings and campaigns are set within socially charged public spaces. In 2008 she debuted a new stencil series and walking tour entitled Syndicate commissioned by Yerba Buena Center for the Artsor the Bay Area Now 5 triennial exhibition.

Note: We will meet at the Headlands Center Dining Hall at 11 for introductory remarks and head out from there. We will arrange for car-pooling to the site for those who need it. There will be optional pre-workshop readings. Bring notebook, camera, sunscreen and/or hat, outdoor shoes, layers for cold, etc. The Marin Headlands is home to several former military installations, including the bunkers, the Nike Missile Site, and the current home of the Headlands Center for the Arts.

$40 general public / $30 students and members of Headlands Center for the Arts and/or Small Press Traffic.

Class is limited to 20 participants.

NEA Fellowships in Poetry Announced

The National Endowment for the Arts announced today a list of 42 poets who will be recipients of grants in 2009. Each of the authors will receive $25,000 to support a creative writing fellowship. In a time filled with numerous reports of poor economic situations, I am pleased to hear some positive news for the following poets, especially since over the years some have been personal friends or contributors to Valparaiso Poetry Review. VPR congratulates these poets. May the muses already pictured on holiday in the de Chirico painting above now get to work and provide further inspiration to these writers in the upcoming year.

SoCoCo Resumes as "SoCoCo At the Toad" Sunday, January 11th at 2PM

<(Click on SoCoCo image to enlarge)

Very good news! After learning that Sonoma Coffee Company had closed, I began scouting for new venues for the popular SoCoCo Readings. I found several, but my first choice was the wonderful English pub in Railroad Square called Toad In the Hole. Paul Stokeld at Toad In the Hole is excited about our using the Toad for SoCoCo. I'm going to call it "SoCoCo At the Toad." Because they cannot infringe on their nighttime dinner crowd, we're going to move it to Sunday afternoons at 2 PM and advertise, "Come and either have late lunch during or early dinner after, or both. Great pub food and drink!" See menu and other info at

www.thetoadpub.com

Come early and have lunch. Or come later for snack, a beer, or soft drinks. Stay afterwards for early dinner. We won't have to seek out a location to which to repair after the reading!

Richard Denner's Berkeley "mentor Lu Garcia will be reading along with Gwynn O'Gara, Ed Coletti, Mark Eckert, David Madgalene, and Centa Theresa.
The pub is at 116 5th Street between Wilson Avenue and Davis Street in the Old Railroad Square area of Santa Rosa.

Help Wounded Knee

2008-12-06T04:10:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone,

My younger son Richard is Ogalala Lakota Sioux. His birth mom was born on the reservation in South Dakota. My son Richard is living there now learning about his heritage and traditions. He is living with his grandmother (Julie Shot To Pieces) at Wounded Knee.

I found out that the county he lives in is the poorest county in the United States. I have been sending boxes of clothes, material, food, baby aspirin, etc (along with my mom and friends). It seems that the people on the reservation make their money when the tourists come during the warm months. They sell their arts and crafts items. When the winter comes it is pretty bad. The transportation is bad, jobs are scarce, people dye during the winter because they cannot pay for their propane. Yesterday several of us sent money to Richard's family because they were eating donated bread. Richard called me saying he was worried that the kids we not getting enough to eat. Richard got a job at Taco John's and could eat at work. He said that the children could eat at school but ate bread when they got home.

I want to help everyone not just Richard's family. There are so many people that need help. I am just getting started. There is a community center that is partially finished. People are hungry and cold.

I told the families that if they could send me their arts and crafts I would sell them and send 100% of the money back to them. This could help them be sell suffice and get through the winters.

I have a plan. Even when things are tough for us we can still make a difference in another person's life. My big wish would be for the city of Petaluma to adopt Wounded Knee as its sister city.

If you want to see the arts and crafts, or adopt a box to send to Wounded Knee, email or call me. The community center will give me the information about which families need help.

You can also check out a site called Natural Villages. It tells about the conditions on the reservation.

Thank you,

Michelle Baynes
