Maxine Chernoff & Barbara Jane Reyes - Maxine Chernoff joins us in celebration of her latest collection of poetry, Among the Names (Apogee, 2005), which Elizabeth Robinson says “suggests poetry as a vehicle for ethics—not in sense of proscribing moral virtue, but as a mode of experience in which acuteness of perception can model both compassion and sharp critique. Chernoff is an alchemically subtle reader of human economies." Chernoff is the author of six collections of fiction and seven books of poetry. She chairs the Creative Writing Department at San Francisco State and co-edits New American Writing . Chernoff lives in Mill Valley. Barbara Jane Reyes is the author of poeta en san francisco (Tinfish Press, 2005), for which she received the Academy of American Poets James Laughlin Award. Juliana Spahr calls the book: “a multilingual litany that forcefully articulates what it means to be living as a woman in a nation of veterans, virgins, and dark angels.” Reyes was born in Manila, Philippines, raised in the Bay Area, and schooled at UC Berkeley and SF State . Her first book, Gravities of Center, was published by Arkipelago Books (2003). She lives in Oakland. Note: Unless otherwise noted, events are $5-10, sliding scale, free to SPT members, and CCA faculty, staff, and students. Unless otherwise noted, our events are presented in Timken Lecture Hall California College of the Arts 1111 Eighth Street, San Francisco (just off the intersection of 16th & Wisconsin) http://sptraffic.org/html/events/spring06.html
