Sam Pereira reading at the Revue cafe in Fresno's Tower District on July 27, 2010.

On July 27, the second installment of The Poets of Fresno: Summer Reading Series will take place at the Revue Cafe in the Tower District. A lovely venue & a great group to read with, all to help promote more editions from Tebot Bach's Ash Tree Poetry Series, edited by David St. John. If you're in the area on that evening, hope to see you there. Here's the web site for the event:
