Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland is pleased to present another installment of the always excellent Poetry Flash, featuring contributors reading from the Sixteen Rivers Press anthology, The Place That Inhabits Us: Poems of the San Francisco Bay Watershed, on Sunday, July 11 at 3pm.

The Place That Inhabits Us is an anthology put together by Sixteen Rivers Press relating to our wide watershed, the poets gathered together in a wide-cast net, poets living and dead, famous and much less so, some living here, some from other countries. The poems came half and half from a national call for submissions and from a pool of poems nominated by members of the Sixteen Rivers collective. In his generous Foreword Robert Hass says, “...at a certain moment, a group of early-twenty-first-century poets made a selection of poems about the place that mattered to them, so that this book is about the experience of place---and about being given the remembered expression of the experience of place by others who have lived here. And that begins to be a culture.”

Featured readers are DAN CLURMAN, SUSAN KOLODNY, PRISCILLA LEE, SHARON DOUBIAGO, AL YOUNG & more!
