LOBA Poetry Series with Jabez “Bill” Churchill
Monthly Poet Features & Open Mic
Saturday, November 21 at 3 PM

Join Ukiah Branch Library staff as we host poetry events in-person on the third Saturdays of each month at 3 p.m. This free event is open to both teens and adults. All are invited to share poems in any form or style or just listen to others. On November 21, we welcome Jabez “Bill” Churchill.

Churchill lives in Ukiah, where he was the city’s first bilingual Poet Laureate. He is a modern language instructor at Woodland Community College in Clearlake and teaches poetry at Mendocino County Juvenile Hall through California Poets in the Schools. He began submitting poetry for publication in 1979 and became a member of the Ina Coolbrith Poetry Circle in Berkeley, California. He has toured with other poets in Spain (1999) and Cuba (2000) and has been a featured reader throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, in Los Angeles and Vancouver, B.C. He continues to write and perform in English and Spanish.
