DESCRIPTION:On Earth Day weekend, the City of Oakland is hosting "Poets on Earth: an 
 Earth Day Salon" will be a celebration of nature and creative expression. 
 It's from 1-4pm at the California Writers Circle (formerly Fire Circle) in 
 Joaquin Miller Park, and hosted by Kristen Caven,  the California Writers 
 Club's Writer in Residence at Joaquin Miller Park. \n\nThe event will kick 
 off at 1:00 PM with the monthly meeting of the California Writers Club 
 (CWC), the oldest writing group in the state. From 1:30 to 2:30 PM, 
 attendees will engage in writing prompts focused on catalyzing local 
 environmental change collectively, writing either on Earthday.org's theme 
 of "Planet vs. Plastics" or their own concerns. This interactive session 
 aims to inspire participants to use their creativity as a tool for advocacy 
 and awareness. \n\nAn open mic will follow from 2:30 to 4:00 pm, featuring 
 author, publisher and ecopoet Lucille Lang Day; poet, teacher and literary 
 community builder Richard Loranger; and Alameda poet and Native American 
 journalist Nanette Deetz. These three notables will kick off, highlight, 
 and close this not-to-be-missed al fresco literary event that hearkens back 
 a century or more to when writers and artists gathered in Miller's 
 "Hights."\n\nParticipants are encouraged to bring their laptops or 
 notebooks, snacks and water, and dress for the weather in what should be a 
 sunny spring day in the meadow. For those in need of transportation or 
 willing to offer rides, a carpool signup form is available to facilitate 
 arrangements. The Circle is ADA accessible. \n\nFor location details and 
 directions, please search Google Maps for "California Writers Circle." 
 Able-bodied attendees are advised to park on Joaquin Miller Road and check 
 in at Joaquin Miller's Abbey for inspiration before walking up Sanborn Road 
 to reach the California Writers Circle.\n\nFree\n
