Writers Read has been happening in Ukiah since 1999, and occurs on the last Thursday of almost every month. The program focuses on poetry, spoken word, short stories, song, and expository prose. The featured reader for September will be Robin Gabbert, whose poems have appeared in multiple Redwood Writers Anthologies, California Writers Club Literary Reviews, and The Best Haiku 2022 International. She is the author of two books, Diary of a Mad Poet (2020) and The Clandestine Life of Paintings, in Poems (2022). The latter contains ekphrastic poetry — poems written about works of art. Robin will read some of those poems accompanied by painting projections. .

There is no admission fee for Writers Read but donations are gratefully accepted.
