The featured reader for June is Zida Borcich, a Mendocino Coast based journalist, letterpress printer, graphic designer, jazz singer, and occasional poet. Since 2010, she has published Real Estate Magazine, a monthly that features ads and a locally focused story (many of which she writes), along with a column titled It's REAL. Her book, What It Seemed Then—Poems & a Fable, was assembled from many years of sporadic poetry writing spells.
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 evening typically begins with a featured reader and then is followed by an hour of open mic starting around 8:00.
There is no fee, but donations are warmly appreciated.
Please Note: Writers Read will be taking a hiatus in July and will return to the Museum on August 28.
