Charles Potts comes to Colorado
Talking Gourds Poetry Club wanted to clear up any confusion around the visit from the legendary poet/editor/literary lion Charles Potts. We have schedule two special readings for him in Western Colorado. He will appear March 4th at the Copper Club Brewing Company at 7 p.m. along with Kyle Harvey and Art Goodtimes. The Copper Club is right on Fruita’s main drag (233 E. Aspen St.). Then on March 5th he will read at a party in Placerville. Interested parties need an invitation to attend. Call Art at 970-729-0220 for more information.
John Oliver Simon has called Potts “the most notorious neglected poet in America.” A counter-culture hero, Charles edited Litmus magazine when he lived in Berkeley and moved to Walla Walla where he was famous for Temple magazine and its accompanying bookstore. One of his many recent books is the brilliant Inside Idaho: Poems, 1996-2007 (West End Press, 2009). His reading on Thursday evening, March 5th will take place at a private party in Placerville. Anyone interested in attending, call Art at 970-729-0220 for an invitation.
Talking Gourds is a program of the Telluride Institute in partnership with the Wilkinson Library, the Montrose Regional Library, Between the Covers Bookstore, Ah Haa School for the Arts, Telluride Arts District, Arroyo Telluride and the newly formed Telluride Literary Arts. Members meet monthly, on first Tuesday evenings, at Arroyo Fine Art Gallery & Wine Bar at 220 E. Colorado Ave. (next door to Telluride Hardware), beginning at 6 p.m. The same guests appear at the Montrose Regional Library (320 S. 2nd St.) on the next day, Wednesday, at 6 p.m. We are indebted to generous donations from Audrey Marnoy, Peter Waldor and the Montrose Friends of the Library for making this collaborative project happen.
