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

Christine Richardson is the co-host of the Thursday poetry readings at Willow Glen Library. She worked in elementary education for 34 years, promoting programs in self-esteem and conflict resolution and has been writing poems for over 30 years, keeping them in binders like birds in an aviary. Someday she will be moved to consider releasing them into the open sky.
