Poetry Flash with Sharon Doubiago and Lindy Hough at Diesel Bookstore

Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland presents another installment of the always excellent Poetry Flash, this time with Sharon Doubiago and Lindy Hough, on Sunday, November 13th at 3pm.

Poet and prose writer Sharon Doubiago will read from the second volume of her memoir, My Father's Love: The Legacy.  Lynn Sacco says of it, "Her prose achieves the power of poetry, demonstrating as much as describing the pain, fear, and dislocation that incest created in her family." 

Lindy Hough's new book of poems is Wild Horses, Wild Dreams: New and Selected Poems 1971-2010. She is the author of four other books of poetry, and along with her husband Richard Grossinger she founded the literary magazine Io in the 1960s and North Atlantic Books in the 1970s.
