INVOLVED WITH THE HOLLOWAY
SUGGEST a poet to be featured in
an upcoming Holloway Season or make any other
suggestions for improving any aspect of the series. We
want to hear from you!
LINK to
our webpage! Do you maintain a calendar of Bay Area events?
Do you have a blog or personal website? Consider linking to
our website. We also maintain an archive of fully
downloadable MP3 recordings of our past readings (beginning
with the Fall 2006 Season) and offer streaming video of
each event. We also have a number of great resources about
each poet, including photos, biographical data, and work
samples. Link Up!
DONATE to the Roberta J. Holloway Fund
through the UC Berkeley English Department. The
Holloway Series in Poetry is funded through an
Endowment made by Roberta Holloway in 1981. This
generous fund has enabled us to establish a tradition
of poetry on campus, but our yearly budget is
relatively small, and does not allow us to reimburse
the travel expenses of visiting poets, support
graduate poets, produce seasonal publicity materials
(like color flyers, season guides, etc), or pay for
additional staff. If you would like to help us improve
the Holloway Series in Poetry, and play an active role
in the fostering of community events like our series,
please consider donating to the Holloway Fund. If
you'd like to discuss the use of your donation or want
further information, please click here to contact us directly. If
you'd prefer to make an immediate online donation, you
may donate via the Letters and Sciences Donation Page: Chose "English" from
the drop down menu of L&S Departments, and then
make sure to specify "The Holloway Series in Poetry"
along with any other instructions you may have in the
"Special Instructions for this gift" field. Thank you
for your support!
GET THE WORD
OUT by helping us flyer your favorite coffee shops,
neighborhoods, dormitories or offices in advance of each
new reading. Contact Us to arrange for printed flyer
pickup. Or download and print flyers yourself!
(flyers are typically available one week prior the
scheduled event). Special thanks to Charles Legérè and
Jack Morgan for their beautiful flyer designs.
READ
your own poetry in the Holloway Series. Are you a Graduate
Student Poet at UC Berkeley? If so, then you are eligible
to apply for a spot on the program. At every Holloway
reading we feature a short reading by one of our
accomplished graduate student poets from the UC Berkeley
campus community. There are very limited spots available in
the Spring Season, and we'd love to consider your work for
inclusion. To apply for a reading in our upcoming season
please send a short writing sample (5 -10 poems) in a
single Microsoft Word document by November 30th,
2006. Please also include a brief biographical statement in
the body of your email and put "Graduate Holloway
Application" in the subject line. Click here to go to our email form and
apply.
