Event Description:
| The November Writer's Studio will be with slam poet Chad Sokolovsky! He's joining us from Berekley to hit us with some spoken word art and to talk about his new book of poetry, Prophecy Mechanic. The Writer's Studio is a reading series hosted by Dana Koster and Tri-Chromatic Gallery that explores not only the art of writing but the process, from inspiration to publication. Each reading focuses on one writer and begins with a short interview to locate the audience in the author's work and life. Doors open at 7:00 for wine and snacks and mingling. Q&A/reading starts at 7:20 with a book signing to take place at the end. The Writer's Studio is perfect for non-writers, new writers and seasoned writers alike! Come be inspired by the art of writing and the incredible gallery space. Chad Sokolovsky is a Bay Area native and graduate of the University of California at Berkeley.
