Newly added to Season 2022-23!
THE 222 presents Indigenous Voices, literary events that celebrate the work of two award-winning Indigenous American poets, and explore language, culture, and experiences from a Native artist’s perspective. Prize-winning poet and Healdsburg resident Denise Low (of European and Lenape/Munsee heritage), will host these remarkably accomplished women through conversation, readings and an opportunity for book signings.
POET & PUBLISHER LUCILLE LANG DAY IN CONVERSATION WITH DENISE LOW
“Within the glowing embers of this book, storyteller, poet, and scientist Lucille Lang Day weaves together the threads of her ancestors…” – Praise for Becoming an Ancestor, Blue Lyra Review
Poet-activist Lucille Lang Day reads from her poetry and engages in conversation with Healdsburg poet Denise Low. Day, a multiply talented writer of Wampanoag descent, founded and continues to publish Scarlet Tanager Books. She knows the book world as a writer, a publisher, and everything in between. In this presentation, she shares her experiences as a successful writer and as a successful small-press editor. She challenges stereotypes of many kinds: She is a poet and a scientist; a Native person and a prize-winning writer.
Lucille Lang Day has edited some of the most influential recent California anthologies of poetry focused on California ecopoetry, Indigenous peoples, and the intersection of science and verse. Join THE 222 in this appearance by a fascinating North Bay citizen who has found ways to make her voice heard as well as the voices of many others.
