Bay Area Generations Reading
On May 21, our CWC branch participated in the first-ever CWC takeover of Bay Area Generations! In this inter-generational curated reading series, writers submit work with a writing partner at least 10 years older or younger than they are. For this 69 th edition of BAG, writing duos from CWC Berkeley and CWC SF Peninsula were selected to bring poetry, memoir, stories, spoken word, and performance pieces to the stage at Harrington Galleries in San Francisco. Our branch was represented by long-time members Darlene Frank and Lisa Meltzer Penn and new member Vibha Akkaraju and her daughter Aanika. It was a blast! Berkeley branch president Kristen Caven, who invited us to submit with her branch, suggested we team up to do this once a year. Of course, I said yes! Find out more about submitting to this extremely fun monthly series (with a published chapbook of the readings available for sale only at the event) at: www.bayareagenerations.com
Congratulations!
