Gods, Goddesses, & Myth Regional Women Poets Read at Tacoma Community College Gallery Tacoma Poet Laureate, Josie Emmons Turner hosts a reading by 14 regional poets on the theme of Gods, Goddesses, Myth, 7:00, April 19 at the Gallery at Tacoma Community College. The reading is free. According to Turner, the idea for the reading germinated upon seeing the gallery’s current exhibition, Greek and Roman Mythology. “The exhibit has such a wide range of artists presenting an extremely diverse spectrum of understanding about an ancient topic. I wanted the opportunity to add the poet’s voice and present another dimension in conjunction with the show.” Turner stated. “I am very excited that such an extraordinary group of poets responded to the idea.” The participating poets are: Peggy Barnett, Glenna Cook, Julia Cousineau, Caroline Hunter Davis, Maria Gudaitis, Mary Hake, Patricia Kennedy, Patty Kinney, Kay Mullen, Tammy Robacker, Marjorie Rommel, Josie Emmons Turner, Connie Walle, Juniper White, and Carolyne Wright. In addition, this is the last formal presentation of poets by Turner in her formal position of Poet Laureate. Tacoma’s 2013-2015 Poet Laureate will be announced by the Tacoma Arts Commission. Turner and the incoming Poet Laureate, along with past Poet Laureates Tammy Robacker and William Kupinse will give at reading at the Tacoma Public Library, April 23 at 6:00. The Gods, Goddesses, and Myth reading is supported by the Tacoma Arts Commission Poet Laureate Program and the Gallery at Tacoma Community College.
