Poets Sunday, June 21st at 5pm
Julie Rogers, Lisbet Bailey,
Cathleen Williams, Sarah Menefee
stay for Autonomous Region at 7pm!

Sunday at 5, catch four goils from the Northern California watershed, poets & buddies from a ways back… Lisbet Bailey, Cathleen Williams, Sarah Menefee and Julie Rogers. A quick blow out! deep, profound, sassy and unfiltered, and then it’s on to the jazz at 7pm–this time, of the Filipino kulintang persuasion… Autonomous Region, a quintet led by Caroline Cabading–house band of the Club Mandalay at the I-Hotel Manilatown Heritage Center. Grab a quesabirria taco or some chow fun twixt the poetry and the jazz, and reclaim your seat in the bookshop for a wondrous good time! Marian Dalere will tell you, this is joyous & righteous. Happy Birthday, Marian!

Here’s some music while you mark your calendar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ_NyEVHms8&list=RDAtu2_x_KW80&index=8, unrelated, except insofar as it’s great jazz music! Thanks to Black America for bequeathing this music to the world! To hear Autonomous Region, come to the show!
