Organized by PEN-Oakland, this benefit reading for Doctors Without Borders was staged at the Islamic Cultural Center of Northern California on the evening of Friday, April 30th, 2010.
Emcee: Wanda Sabir | Produced by Kim McMillon | James P. Belcher, who captured the poet-performers on DVD video, is in the process of editing his footage. Part of this process entails trimming each reading down to 10-minute units, the maximum duration that YouTube allows for general uploads.
