April is “Poetry Month”


Our speaker is Dorothea Bisbas, a multi-published poet who has been mentored by some of the nation's outstanding poets: Jane Hirshfield, David St. John, Garett Hongo, Marvin Bell and many more. She has published 2 highly received books, WREATH OF DESIRE and VINEGAR FLATS, along with 14 anthologies containing her works and those of her students.

In 2011, the city of Rancho Mirage honored her as Poet Laureate, a title the Rancho Mirage Public Library continues to bestow without limit.

Dorothea has conducted poetry classes on a weekly basis at the Library for over 20 years. Anyone who has studied with her during the past 6 months is disqualified from entering.
