Celebrate National Poetry Month with UCSB Reads and Goleta Valley Library at an afternoon of community poetry readings. The event opens with readings by Santa Barbara Poet Laureate George Yatchisin and UCSB Professor Emerita Shirley Geok-Lin Lim, followed by participants sharing their selected poems. Inspired by this year’s UCSB Reads selection, Crying in H Mart, the event highlights poetry as a creative way to tell personal stories.
This event is free and open to students, staff, faculty, and community members. Advance sign-up is encouraged for those who wish to read. The event may be photographed or recorded.
