The Cuban poet, Jose Kozer, will be coming to Doe Bay on Saturday, Feb. 7 to conduct a workshop ($50) from 1-5 at Doe Bay and give a free reading of his poems in Spanish at 7 p.m. This will be Jose’s first visit to the Pacific NW. He’ll be teaching and speaking at Hugo House in Seattle and Seattle University.
Paul Nelson of Global Voices Radio and SPLAB! is bringing Kozer to Orcas Island. Nelson is a longtime visitor of Doe Bay Resort and he was eager to bring Jose to the island. He says, “Jose Kozer is one of the most remarkable Cuban poets in the world. Jose’s poetry critiques are the kindest, most incisive and remarkable ones I have ever experienced.”
The webpage for his visit has been updated with all the current info at: www.globalvoicesradio.org/Jose_Kozer_Workshop.htm
Joze is offering four scholarships to his workshop at Doe Bay. Contact Paul Nelson at splabman@yahoo.com or call Harreld at Doe Bay at 376-2291 for more information.
