Willow Glen Library and Poetry Center San Jose are pleased to present poet Deborah Kennedy, 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.

Deborah Kennedy's poetry explores themes related to the natural world and ecology. In her most recent book, Coevolution, some of the topics covered include endocrine disruption, the decline in bird and butterfly populations, and enriching our connectivity to the larger natural world.

Kennedy also works as an artist, having exhibited in California and Europe in numerous solo and group shows featuring objects, conceptually-based installations, and public art focusing on ecological and social themes. She teaches art and art history classes at the college and university level.
