Patti Trimble is a poet, essayist, and visual artist living in California and Sicily.
Her poetry is widely published and she performs lyric poems in the USA and
Europe. She was co-founder of the Tuolumne Poetry Festival and her writing
received grants from the Lannan Foundation, Poets&Writers, Djerassi
Residency, and a Pushcart nomination. Two 2014 CDs of spoken word/poems/music
are out on Out of Round Records: Hello
Heaven! Poems from Arabic Sicily, with Tunisian singer Ramzi Harrabi, (new
translations); and In The Middle of the
Night of the Road of My Life I Found Myself in a Tangled Wood, with
musician Peter Whitehead. Bob Holman
calls this CD, "a Classic Right
Now." as the poems tell the lyric news about several kinds of
wilderness. Patti also writes for the San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival and
offers lectures and workshops at Point Reyes Field Institute and various OLLI
programs www.pattitrimble.com
Susan Stone has produced
radio drama, soundscapes, and storytelling series for public radio since 1980,
including documentary features for The Modern Language Association, Australian
Broadcast Corporation, the Soros Foundation, and West German Radio. Her
original mixed-media texts and scores for theater, dance, and independent film
have been awarded for story and sound design.
Investigative interests drew her from invention
to the radio documentary form focused on the recorded experiences of people
living on the front lines of deeply felt human experiences, whether impacted by
war, natural disasters, or the fatal beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge. Thanks to a United States Artist/Rasmuson fellowship, she
created an oral history project (IfTheseWallsCouldTalk.org) based on the
recorded readings, writings and art of incarcerated youth, with whom she works
as a mediator in restorative justice programs.
