Willow Glen Library and Poetry Center San Jose are pleased to present Roger Abe and Betty Arnold, who will read from their work. An open mic reading will follow. All are welcome to bring a poem of their own or by a favorite poet to share.

Roger Abe has been active with Yuki Teikei Haiku Society (YTHS) for the better part of twenty years. With YTHS he has hosted an annual spring reading in San Jose Parks since 1992. He likes the outdoors and parks, and has served as a San Jose Park Ranger for more years than there are syllables in a haiku.

Betty Arnold has been a pediatrician in private practice and academia, a children's
grief counselor, and a facilitator of the Healer's Art Course for medical students at UCSF in her other life. She was drawn to haiku some 15 years ago and became a member of Yuki Teikei Haiku Society in 2002. She also has been active with Haiku Poets of Northern California for the last 3-4 years. The art of writing haiku is her daily practice.
