Free Association Open Mic Poetry Series
featuring Bill Campana & Sara Dobie Bauer
Wednesday August 20th
at Glendale Community College
FREE and open to the public
open mic starts at 7pm
Bill Campana writes poetry in the form of obscure personalized news reports to fill in the blanks created from watching the world go by at a blinding speed. Representing Mesa in five national poetry slams (twice a semi-finalist), he has read poetry in ten states as a competitor and featured performer. He co-hosts the popular Caffeine Corridor Poetry Series in downtown Phoenix and his new book “Said Beauty To The Blues” is the culmination of three decades of prominence in Arizona poetry.
Sara Dobie Bauer is a writer, blogger, and prison volunteer. She has an honor’s degree in creative writing from Ohio University, and she is a certificate student at GCC. She is the official book nerd at SheKnows.com. Her short fiction has appeared in Solarcide, Outrageous Fortune, and Stoneslide Corrective. Her first book, Life without Harry, was released in 2013, and she just finished writing her newest novel, Bite Somebody: A Bloodsucker’s Diary. She watches bad horror films, obsesses over Halloween and Arizona’s lack of seasons, and enjoys a good rye whiskey. She doesn’t believe in having children, but she believes in dogs.
