The Read: Poetry and Stories

From Sandra Hunter:
We have a new format for the Read coming up on March 18th!

Everyone is invited to take part in a mind-expanding (and completely legal!) writing exercise. Even if you've never written anything before -- you'll leave having written your first poem.
We're also introducing two theatre students who performed recently at the wildly successful show on campus, "What's The Point?"

Our special Moorpark poet this month is the fabulous Hart Schulz and our guest artist is Doug Kearney: douglaskearney.com/poetry and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OfCDTAYyJE

Date: Wed 3/18
