UC Berkeley is having a free day of arts and entertainment Sunday, Sept. 26, 2010, 11 AM to 6 PM. Visit http://www.calperfs.berkeley.edu/performances/2010-11/fffa/fffa.php
Saturday, Sept. 25, at the Main Library there will be poetry readings:
An Afternoon of Poetry at the Oakland Main Library, Saturday, September 25, 2-5 PM
South Asian American Poetry
Indivisible:An Anthology of Contemporary South Asian American Poetry is the first anthology to bring together established and emerging American poets who trace their roots to Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Several of the poets who contributed to the anthology will read their work at the Library from 3 PM to 5 PM.
Earler that same afternoon, Roswitha McIntosh, Distinguished Senior Poet at NYU, will read from In Search of the Good Life, her recent volume of thoughts and poems inspired by her extraordinary life journey. Ms. McIntosh was born in Germany, in the year Hitler came to power. Her childhood experiences,surviving under Nazi rule, have figured prominently in her work.
Both readings are at the Main Library —West Auditorium, 125 14th Street, (510) 238-3138. Visit www.oaklandlibrary.org
I gave students a copy of a review I wrote for the film: Mountains Take Wings. The film is screening on Friday, Sept. 25, 7 PM at East Side Cultural Center. What is exciting about this is the fact that Angela Davis and Yuri Kochiyama will be present at the screening for questions and comments.
