Lincoln History and Local Connections Take Center Stage at June Event
The Writer’s Showcase is pleased to announce that Chris Olander will be the featured speaker at its upcoming June event. The gathering will be held on Saturday, June 20, at the Silveria Community Building, located at 500 N. Main Street in Lakeport.
Chris Olander, poet, performer, teacher, and bio-educator with California Poets in the Schools (CPITS) since 1984, blends performance techniques with spoken word to create an Action Art Poetry: musical image phrasing to dramatize relative experiences—a poetry arising from oral and bardic traditions.
Chris is the author of 3 full-length collections, including this year’s Who Are We, Cold River Press, as well as four chapbooks and 8 CDs. His work is included in the anthology Silent Motif: Conference of Poets. Chris was Nevada County’s poet laureate from 2017-2019 and, for over 25 years, was an organizer and featured reader in the Berkeley Watershed Poetry Festival, sponsored by Poetry Flash and U.S. poet laureate Robert Hass.
We hope you will join us for what promises to be a fascinating evening with a truly dynamic poet.
