IMPORTANT: During January
2015 P.E. has to convene at an alternate location because of retro-fit and
remodeling at Himalayan Flavors, after which
the restaurant will no longer have kitchen noise in the private back room. We
had discussion on this issue last night and several alternatives are being
explored and we will conclude and announce where we will be in January on or
before our 12/29 meeting at Himalayan Flavors.
All are invited to comment by responding to this email or by talking / emailing/ phoning any of the hosts. Your comments are important and we are considering: distance from current location, food or no food options, cost or no cost of location, noise levels, seating capacity, and preferences of our members.

Last night we had a great evening with Lisa Gluskin
Stonestreet as our feature plus lots of good open mic readings. Lisa will be hosting several courses early in
2015 and the info is below:
1. Private
poetry workshop
• Oakland, CA -
2nd and 4th Mondays, 7-10 PM
• 8-class
session 2/9-6/1 (no class 5/25) $380
This is an
ongoing group, by invitation (if you’re getting this email, you’re invited).
You can sign up for sessions every few months as they’re offered. We’ll focus
on workshopping new and revised poems, supported by occasional in-person
writing prompts and occasional discussion of published work. This is a great
opportunity to develop your writing community and make space for your work, in
a convivial, supportive, and rigorous setting. Plus: snacks.

2. UC Extension
Poetry Revision Intensive
• Berkeley, CA -
Wednesdays 7-10 PM
• 6-class
session 3/25-5/6 (no class 4/8) $395
This is a
six-week intensive course, the companion to my fall Poetry Generation
Intensive. It’s quite similar, though as the name suggests, we’ll focus on
revising your existing drafts, supported by reading and discussion on the
process of revision (= much more than fiddling with synonyms).

signup at http://extension.
