Ten Thousand Villages tonight
04/24/2008 04:19 p.m.
Here is what I've been doing! Our chapbook is finished, it's the most colorful
one yet, I think you will love it, it includes art
and photographs, as well as wonderful poetry.

April 24 Thursday dinner at our home will begin at 5:30 PM.
A short pre-celebration
poetry WORKSHOP and preparation
for the evenings performance from 5:45 to 6:45.
We will walk over (one block)
to Ten Thousand Villages
496 S Lake Ave, Pasadena, CA 91101
(Our place is close parking-but you can meet us there if you come late.
Friends are welcome, of course,)
to set up for our
poetry and musical performance.

We are celebrating the wild natural beauty of our surrounding area.
Especially featured are all the Poets on Site at Fish Canyon Falls:
Sharon Hawley, Deborah P Kolodji, Kendall Evans, Just Kibbe,
and Kath Abela Wilson; joined by Mira Mataric,
Ruth Nolan, Cindy Rinne, Maja Trochimczyk,
Antonio Sorcini, and Tom Bilike.

Unusual once in a lifetime musical accompaniment: Asuncion Ojeda on
Philippine Kulintang and Rick Wilson on Fujara. We also
made a dvd which will be shown, with scenes from our poetic
hikes in the wilds, as well as early 20th centry hikers on the same sites!
Cindy Rinne will bring one of her artworks, on a forest theme.

Whether you've contributed a
poem or not, this will be a very wonderful musical and poetic experience,
ina beautiful environment, surrounded by objects made in villages
by individual craftspeople all over the world..

Contributing poets will receive two copies
of the book, one tonight, and one next week.
Others consider a $5 donation for a copy.
