On the second Sunday of each month, come to Old Capitol Books to see the featured poets of the Monterey Bay Poetry Consortium. This afternoon's featured poets are Dan Lineham and Dane Cervine, who will read from their work. There is a suggested donation of $5.

Dan Linehan is an award-winning author and freelance writer. His recent work covers wildlife and environmental issues, especially climate change. Dan’s focus is his novel The Princess of the Bottom of the World, which is based on real-life adventures in Argentina, Antarctica, and the surrounding regions. The novel also blends in poetry.

Dane Cervine lives in Santa Cruz. In addition to being a poet, he is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice, and Emeritus Chief of Children’s Mental Health for the Santa Cruz County Mental Health & Substance Abuse Department. Dane is also a Zen practitioner with the Pacific Zen Institute community, which emphasizes lay practice integrated with the arts in a contemporary cultural form.
