Emceed by the incomparable Daniel Handler! Two teams of poets from the Bay Area and beyond, including Francesca Bell, Leticia Hernandez, Hieu Minh Nguyen, Jacques J. Rancourt, Christell Victoria Roach, and Dashaun Washington take turns batting at poem topics pitched to them by the audience.
Fastballs, curveballs, knuckleballs: these poets won't know what's coming next! Lots of laughs guaranteed. Umpires Zeina Hashem Beck and Peter Coyote will score each batter's reading, and the winning team takes the series title. Book sale and signing will follow the reading.
This is a free event; registration recommended if you'd like to join us at 6:30 for wine, beer, and popcorn! Registration opens April 29 at this URL: https://millvalleylibrary.libcal.com/event/11538596. Program starts at 7PM.
As poet Marianne Moore wrote, “Writing is exciting / and baseball is like writing. / You can never tell with either / how it will go.
