Blue Flame Ring - Poets Tinker Greene and Norman Fischer

Tinker Greene returns to the Bay with his book Blue Flame Ring published by Alastair Johnston’s Poltroon Press. He will read recent work along with Norman Fischer.

“Tinker Greene. Polymath of wilderness and city living. Fan and lover of all the arts, especially poetry. Lots of channeling through things. An empath totally open to receive and collaborate. He builds bridges, the kind Lew Welch would need to get across.”
—Micah Ballard, on Blue Flame Ring
