Hawaii Writers Guild EVENTS Calendar
SEPTEMBER EVENTS
North Kohala Authors Reading September 23
Seven readers and perhaps as many as six pop-up poets will share their work with the North Kohala community on Monday, September 23, from 6-7:30 p.m. at the North Kohala Public Library. Eila Algood will emcee the event.
Scheduled readers are Laura Burkhart, Michael Foley, Donna Beumier, Carla Orellana, Wendy Noritake, Louise Riofrio and Virginia Fortner. Three "pop-up" poets already committed include Diane Revell, Jim Gibbons and Eila Algood.
The event is free and open to the public, and is always popular, so come early to get a seat. Eila has recorded a public service announcement for this one, so it is sure to draw a large crowd.

Writers' Voices Authors Reading on October 2
Hawaii Writers Guild will present its October Writers’ Voices reading on Wednesday, October 2, 2019 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Thelma Parker Memorial Library, 67-1209 Mamalahoa Highway in Waimea.
Writers’ Voices is an evening of original readings by Guild members. Readers at the October Writers’ Voices will include members from around the Big Island: Jim Gibbons from Waimea, Carla Orellana from Hawi, Donna Maltz from North Kohala and Carol McMillan, soon to be from Waimea.
Jim Gibbons will read a piece that introduces a new word into the English lexicon: “dogtuse”. He says, in order to find out what it means, you will have to come to the reading.
Carla Orellana will read a story from her Tales of a Snake Dancer, vignettes from her life as a professional belly dancer with her belly-dancing partner, a boa constrictor by the name of Suleman Aziz.
Donna Maltz will read an excerpt from her just published book, Living Like the Future Matters: The Evolution of an Eco-Bohemian Entrepreneur.
Our guest emcee, Carol McMillan, will also be a reader. Carol will read from her memoir-in progress, Seeds of a Flower Child, set in the San Francisco Bay area during the years 1967 and 1970. She will read from a chapter about the “People's Park” in Berkeley, a flower-child-created park that was the center of protests in 1969.
The event is free and open to the public.
