Yakima Valley Libraries to Host Yakima Coffeehouse Poets at Next Authors Out Loud Event
Yakima, WA – Yakima Valley Libraries is pleased to announce the next event in the Authors Out Loud series, featuring an evening of readings by the Yakima Coffeehouse Poets group on Wednesday, April 4, 6:30pm at the West Valley Community Library.
The event will feature readings by some of Yakima’s finest poets, including Joyce Hernandez, winner of group’s 2017 Poetry Contest, in addition to Rod Nelson, Mark Fuzie, Randie Gottlieb and Jo Shafer.
Formed in 2014, the Yakima Coffeehouse Poets hold monthly open mic poetry readings, in addition to hosting a yearly poetry contest, from which they publish a chapbook of the winning poems, honorable mentions and selected pieces by the contest judges.
“This event will mark the second year that YVL has hosted the Yakima Coffeehouse Poets group,” said Krystal Corbray, programming and marketing librarian. “They’ve contributed more than twenty years of poetry and literary beauty to our community, and we’re looking forward to another wonderful evening featuring their work.”
