Word Temple is Sonoma County’s first long-term, ongoing poetry reading series. Founded and hosted by poet Katherine Hastings, the series kicked off in February of 2006 with readings by Jane Hirshfield and David St. John to a standing-room only audience. Also, the first ten minutes of each evening is devoted to a local poet with a good body of work who has not yet published a book. For information on all upcoming readings, visit wordtemple.com.
