SUMMARY:Benefit Reading and Conversation with Award-Winning Poet Ellen Bass
DESCRIPTION:The Carl Cherry Center for the Arts is pleased to present an afternoon of poetry and conversation with celebrated\, award-winning poet Ellen Bass on Sunday\, November 15th\, at 3:00 PM. \nProceeds from the reading will directly benefit ongoing work of current Poet-in-Schools teacher\, poet and nonfiction author Patrice Vecchione who leads in-class poetry workshops across Monterey County high schools\, encouraging young writers to trust their imaginations and discover their authentic voices through creative expression. Funds raised from this afternoon reading will ensure the continuation of these vital workshops as well as the Elliot Ruchowitz-Roberts High School Poetry Awards\, the Cherry Center’s annual flagship event celebrating and supporting young literary talent across Monterey County. \nAs Ellen Bass once noted\, “Poetry is the most intimate of all writing. I want to speak first from me to myself and then from me to you.” During this special event\, Bass—a former Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets and recipient of three Pushcart Prizes whose new book of poetry is forthcoming in 2027—will read from her work and engage the audience in an intimate conversation on the power of the written word. \nEvent Details: \n\nWhat: Poet Ellen Bass: Benefit Reading & Conversation\nWhen: Sunday\, November 15th at 3:00 PM\nWhere: Carl Cherry Center for the Arts\, 4th and Guadalupe\, Carmel\, CA\nAdmission: $30\nTickets: Available online on Eventbrite.com.
