Mark Heinlein & Judith Sutton

Mark Heinlein’s work cuts to the emotional bone of our daily activities.
From eating leftover kung pao chicken, flocking Christmas trees, grocery shopping, to contemplating the magnitude of war and the inevitable struggles with mortality, to the fine caresses of lovers, Mark’s work finds beauty and humanity in the mundane aspects of our lives. A finalist for the 2008 Edwin Markham Poetry Prize, his work has been performed live on the radio, and he has read his poems at the Cinequest Festival and at bars, galleries, bedrooms and bookstores throughout Northern California. 

Judith Sutton is a poet and teacher at Saratoga High School. She was recently awarded by the Mayor of Saratoga - and her students just
published a letterpress book on Mutanabi Street, an ancient bookstall bombed in Baghdad.

An Evening of Poetry

For the March 20, 2009 Art Walk I invited two local poets to come read their work. It was an amazing evening filled with excellent poetry, a packed house, a class of 5th graders who received extra credit for attending, and music outside in the courtyard.

Here is a glimpse into that very special evening.
