On this week's Poetry Show, host Dennis Morton was joined by local poet, poetry activist and frequent guest Len Anderson. As local poetry fans know, Len is the primary force behind the nuts-and-bolts operations of Poetry Santa Cruz (PSC). It was appropriate, therefore, that Len and Dennis talked first about upcoming PSC events and read poems by featured event readers. The latest "second Tuesday" event happens on January 12 at Felix Kulpa Gallery (note the location change from the normal Bookshop Santa Cruz location).

Len also shared poems from his two published collections, Invented By the Night and Affection for the Unknowable. Len's books, along with many other fine poetry collections by local poets,  are published by Hummingbird Press ("Poets of the Monterey Bay"). Hummingbird is another locally-created poetry entity, a publishing collective of which Len is a member.
