Cupertino Poet Laureate: "First Words" and David Denny

Today marked the event,"First Words,' conducted by the Cupertino Poet Laureate, David Denny. He read some of his inspired poetry and was joined by six other local poets during the program.

Dave Denny is a teacher of poetry, literature, and creative writing at De Anza College. He holds the distinction of being chosen as the first Poet Laureate of Cupertino. The motto for his term as Poet Laureate is "Celebrate Creativity."

The other poets who presented their works were Jennifer Swanton Brown, Jack Hasling, Karl Kadie, Ron Miller, Ann Muto, and Laura Oliver. The audience at the outdoor Civic Center Plaza in Cupertino was delighted at the diversity of poetry presented.

I am honored to share that I am invited to participate as a reader of my poetry next time. For more information, please see www.cupertino.org/poet laureate
