To kick off the baseball season, the Mill Valley Public Library will host a "Poetry World Series," in which two teams of up-and-coming Bay Area poets, including Robin Ekiss, Troy Jollimore, Ada Limon, Dean Rader and Melissa Stein will take turns “batting up” to a poem topic “pitched” to them.
Author Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) will host the event, and a panel of judges, including Brian Murphy, sports-talk radio show host of KNBR’s Murph and Mac show; Gillian Conoley, author of The Plot Genie; and Josh Healey, writer, community organizer, arts educator and comedic powerhouse, will score each “batter’s” reading. The winning team takes the series title.
This event is free and is open to those high school age and up. Registration is recommended. To register, call 415-389-4292, x203, or go to www.millvalleylibrary.org.
