Poetry Reading : A Quintet of Local Poets

Join five Olympia poets for a celebration of place and how it inspires us. Bill Yake, Barbara Gibson, Dean Olson, Joanne Clarkson and Brian McCracken will read poetry on Saturday, December 5, beginning at 7 p.m. The event, titled “Local Voices, Local Places” is part of the Olympia Poetry Network’s 25th Anniversary celebration and the first of a series to raise awareness of our area’s talented writers. The featured poets all have books available on the ‘Local Poets’ shelves at Orca. The event is free.
