Point Arena Third Thursday Poetry

Presented by Third Thursday Poetry at Arena Market & Cafe

Our popular Poets & Writers sponsored events take place in Point Arena, California. Each month’s gathering begins at 7:30 P.M. with an open mic and concludes with a reading by our featured poet. The guest performer generally reads between 20 and 40 minutes.

On Thursday, February 16, at 7:30pm The Third Thursday Poetry & Jazz Reading Series at 215 Main in Point Arena will feature Sea Ranch poet Lorraine Lipani.

Lorraine Lipani grew up in Brooklyn, New York, b. 1949. She attended SUNY Oneonta during the innovative 1960’s. While earning a Liberal Arts degree in Literature, she realized a passion for writing and art-making, as well as Jungian psychology and mysticism. In her twenties, she worked at The Edgar Cayce Foundation in Virginia. She trained there as a massage therapist, and maintained a practice for over forty years. In her thirties she studied ceramics, and has kept an art studio ever since. In her forties, she learned how to ride a horse, her second favorite relationship. Lorraine and her lover, artist Jolly Smith, lived in northern New Mexico for many years before moving to The Sea Ranch, California in 2013. Still riding horses in beautiful places.

Readings are held at 215 Main, a wine bar/pub in downtown Point Arena. A small jazz combo plays before and after the reading and generally accompanies the local as well as our featured poets (just about all of them elect to read with the band). The usual audience is comprised of regulars (a mix of young and old, and everything in the middle, as well as reflecting our multi-racial community), visitors from points, north and south of Point Arena, plus the smattering of tourists who just happen to stumble upon us. All of our past readers rave about how attentive, responsive, and open our audiences are.
