Hosted by Vallejo, California's Co-Poet Laureate, Kathleen Herrmann, this event spotlights three poets who will each perform original poetry. Ms. Herrmann will introduce her guests, Excalibur, the first and current Poet Laureate of Suisun City, and Vallejo poet Anna Quismorio. Excalibur, a dynamic performer, will offer his original works of poetry and rap. Anna Quismorio will read from her book, Sugar Coated Bruises, poems of love in all its manifestations and the ultimate quest for healing. Ms. Herrmann will then read her original poems expressing a range of topics from personal to political and follow up by inviting audience questions, comments and interactions.
