California State Poet Laureate AL YOUNG celebrates his new book, complete with audio CD, Something About the Blues: An Unlikely Collection of Poetry. Harlem Renaissance poet Langston Hughes was the first to popularize the blues as a poetic form. Young carries on his legacy in this wonderful new book of poems that evoke the blues in stories about life and music.

WORDWIND CHORUS, an ensemble of performing writers (Reginald Lockett, Brian Auerbach, Q.R. Hand, Jr. and Lewis Jordan) will give a riveting performance. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear the Chorus right here in Santa Rosa.

WHOSE REALLY BLUES: Poems by Q.R. Hand, Jr. (Taurean Horn Press)

The opening poet of the evening is Petaluma poet BEATRIZ LAGOS, who qualifies as a “local” by way of her childhood and adolescence spent under Argentina’s military dictatorship.
