Deborah P Kolodji - Poetry Scrapbook and Random Musings - Oceanside Reading

Sunset Poets Reading, June 22, 2008
Hill Street Cafe, Oceanside, CA


Even an overturned trailer blocking three lanes of traffic on the 5 in San Juan Capistrano couldn't stop the migration of poets from Pasadena down to North San Diego County. Poet Ruth Nolan even drove in from Palm Desert, escaping the 118 degree heat out there for refreshing ocean breezes.

The reading was very well attended between all of the San Diego, Pasadena, and Palm Desert poets who were there. The readers included Mary Torregrossa, Toti O'Brien, CaLokie, Don Kingfisher Campbell, Mina Kirby, Michelle Angelini, Sharmaigne Leland-St. John, Radomir Luza, Ruth Nolan, Bruce Tridel, Naia, Elizabeth Yahn Williams, Sandy Carpenter, Jon Wesick, Dorothy Moreland, Jim Babwe, Clifton King, and me, among others whose names I didn't catch (If anyone who was there knows the name of anyone I've left out, please post it in the comments!).

It was a great afternoon of poetry!
