October’s Writers Read will take place on Halloween night and will feature plain-spoken poet Lin Marie Devincent, author of Sky Fishing (Running Wolf Press 2007). Her background includes writing for film, theatre, and radio. And she is “Valley Poet on the Beat” for Sonoma County’s KSVY radio. Writers Read has been happening in Ukiah since 1999, and occurs on the last Thursday of almost every month. (The final Writers Read will of the year will occur on November 21, a week before Thanksgiving.) The program focuses on poetry, spoken word, short stories, song, and expository prose. The evening typically begins with a featured reader and then is followed by an hour of open mic starting around 8:00.
