Thank You to All Who Made Our Poetry and Music Event a Success
Thank you to all who joined us at the Faulkner Gallery on September 22, 2023 for An Evening of Poetry and Music.
Despite the fact that at the last minute two of our poets became ill and could not attend, Milinda Palacio, Emma Trelles and David Starkey provided no shortage of fabulous poems and conversation. Melinda and David surprised us with some singing and guitar playing. David Rojas provided perfect background music and played a great blues song at the end of the program. I would highly recommend him if you are having an event.
Thank you so much for supporting the Santa Barbara Public Library. We are so fortunate to have such talented Poet Laureates.
