Join us for an afternoon of poetry and musings with local author and documentary filmmaker Marigold Fine. In her new memoir, Double Rainbow: Collected Poems & Memoir Musings, Marigold tells of a Chicago childhood in the 1950's, an iconic move west seeking spiritual life in the natural world, and the creation of a career as a video producer/documentary filmmaker. She brings readers along like old friends on her world travels, sketches endearing portraits of ancestors, shares her love of nature, and leads us down the winding paths of evolving and aging. Readers will laugh at our shared human foibles and appreciate our communal grief and joy.

Marigold brings her writing friends for brief readings of their works as well. Carolyn Davis Rudolph is co-owner of the local restaurant, Charlie Hong Kong. She is a food activist who believes in feeding the community healthy, organic food, and supporting local farmers. Judy Phillips is a long-time Santa Cruz resident, and a gifted writer and storyteller.

Copies of Marigold's book will be available for purchase and signing. Light refreshments will be provided. Registration is recommended to assist us in planning refreshments.
