Poetry Reading/ Book Launch with Ellen Sander

“Hawthorne, a House in Bolinas,” a versified chapbook memoir by past poet laureate Ellen Sander, has just been published by Finishing Line Press. The work, 30 some years in the making, is an unfolding narrative poem occupying a chapbook with snapshots. Ellen will read from and discuss the poems in this collection.
