WG Library: Poetry Reading by Bob Dickerson
Willow Glen Library and Poetry Center San Jose are pleased to present poet Bob Dickerson, who will be reading from his work. An open mic reading will follow. All are welcome to bring a poem of their own or by a favorite poet to share.
Bob Dickerson gave up journalism for teaching. Never regretted it one day of his life. Ha. Has corrupted thousands of students, many now living in anti-capitalist, punning conclaves scattered around the world where they play banjos, write haiku, do silly walks while smoking cigars, and indulge in deviant social behavior, frequently for comic effect.
In last six years he's decided to write poetry intended to impress and annoy his friends. He's still waiting for former to happen. About to retire from De Anza College where he served as chair of English department. Whoop-de-doo. Best thing about teaching English is they pay him to talk about books. Friends say they would pay him not to talk about books. Either way he wins.
