Doris Vernon's Web Site     


 

I wish to thank Ligia and Steve Fein for creating this website for me.

 

I have three chapbooks:

VINCENT'S SONNETS

POET TREE

HE HEARD THE OWL CALL HIS NAME

and a collection of poems (155 pp):

IN SECLUDED RECESSES.

 

I have won awards for the last four years in the Ventura County Writers Club

(VCWC)

April poetry contest

The second place win in 2005 appears in the new VCWC anthology

OUT OF THIN AIR

The poem is a Pantoum entitled

MEMORIES OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION

I belong to POEM CRAFTERS GUILD

We will be presenting an evening of poetry (7:00 to 8:30 p.m)

At the Thousand Oaks Library Court Yard

On Thursday, October 19, 2006. 

I'll be reading a poem of mystery at Artists Union Gallery

California St. , Ventura, Ca.

on Thursday Sept. 21.

Thanks to Robert Peake for his kind comments:

"I'm glad to be here. At my age, I'm glad to be anywhere." So Doris, at 83, opened her featured reading at the Bell Arts Factory in Ventura with all the fire and energy of a sixteen year old. In addition to delightful, and often (refreshingly) funny poems she brought cookies that were out of this world. If you are in the Los Angeles / Ventura / Santa Barbara area and you haven't discovered this new reading series yet, you are in for a treat: the venue is fantastic, the people are real, and the quality of work is a cut above. Kudos to Friday Lubina for hosting another great evening.
