From our
Literacy
Liaisons Dear
WNBA
Members and
Friends,
Happy New
Year!
Teresa says:
"At the
December
holiday meeting
at Michael
&
Elizabeth's,
the book
exchange was a
lovely
tradition to
end the year.
See you at our
other signature
events.
Saturday,
January 24,
3:00-5:00pm,
Patricia
Costello and I
will be
facilitating a
networking
mixer in the
Rockridge
neighborhood of
Oakland. Check
home page or
calendar page
for details and
RSVP
please.
"Our new member
Marlene Cullen
is another pro
at creating
signature
events; she's
the founder of
Writers Forum
of Petaluma,
literary
workshops on
the third
Thursday night
of each month
(February
through
November). For
more
information,
please visit
Marlene's
website at
www.thewritespot.us"
Patricia
says: "I
have been
reading a lot
of memoirs
lately.
Last month I
went to the
Asian Art
Museum to see
the wonderful
exhibit on
Afghanistan and
picked up a few
more titles at
their
bookstore. I
just finished
Robert Abdul
Hayy Darr's The
Spy of the
Heart.
Mr. Darr spent
many years in
Afghanistan
during the 70's
and 80's
working with
famine relief
in the northern
part of the
country.
He does a great
job of
describing the
history and
politics of
this
country.
Anyone wanting
to understand
how the U.S. is
going to handle
foreign policy
in this region,
definitely
should read
this
book.
Another book I
chose was
Istanbul,
Memories and
the City by
Nobel Prize
winning author
Orhan
Pamuk. I
had read My
Name is Red
years ago and
look forward to
reading Mr.
Pamuk's
description of
him
hometown."

Author
Spotlight
Bookworm
talks to
WNBA
National
President,
Joan
Gelfand
An
award
winning
poet,
Joan’s
work
is
published
in
national
magazines
and
anthologies.
Her
books
are:
“Seeking
Center”
Two
Bridges
Press/2006
and “A
Dreamer’s
Guide
to
Cities
and
Streams,”
San
Francisco
Bay
Press/2009.
President
of the
Women’s
National
Book
Association,
Joan
received
her
M.F.A.
from
Mills
College.
Joan will
be reading
on January
19th, 7pm
at Bird
&
Beckett
Books ( 653
Chenery
Street, San
Francisco,
CA)
http://www.bird-beckett.com/
When did
you start
writing?
Many
years
ago!
I was
inspired
by
the
poets
of my
generation
–
particularly
e.e.
Cummings,
Lawrence
Ferlinghetti,
and
Yoko
Ono.
I
started
writing
as a
young
teen
– I
was
15
when
I
worked
up my
first
poem.
Why did you
choose your
particular
genre?
I
think
poetry
chose
me!
What
inspired
you to
choose your
subject
matter?
I
think
Poetry
grabbed
me
because I
loved
that with
just the
right
words you
could not
only
re-
create a photo
of something,
but also the
feeling. I’ll
never forget
“The Coney
Island of the
Mind.”
I
still have
images and
feelings from
those poems I
read 40 years
ago. That’s
powerful.
Also,
the
compactness –
that it took so
few words to
move someone
emotionally
from point A to
point B.
That was
exciting to
me.
How
difficult/easy
has your
experience
been as a
published
writer?
I’ve had a
pretty easy
time as a
poet. My
new book,
“A
Dreamer’s
Guide to
Cities and
Streams”
was
published
with very
little
effort on
my
part.
After
poetry,
non-fiction
has been
successful.
I’ve had
many
essays,
letters and
reviews
published.
The most
challenging
has been
fiction.
What advice
would you
give other
aspiring
authors?
Submit your
work,
whether to
on-line
journals,
literary
magazines
or
nationally
recognized
publications.
Create a
strategy
for
building
your
writer’s
resume.
Start
small, but
submit
regularly.
Don’t get
hung up on
rejection.
Success
breeds
success.
Anything
else you
would like
to share
with the
WNBA?
Make the
effort to
get to know
people in
the chapter
as well as
nationally.
Use the
‘Members
Only’
section of
the WNBA
website to
network
with
members
around the
country. I
have had
very good
fortune
through
people I
have met
through
WNBA,
including
an
endorsement
from the CA
State poet
laureate,
Al Young.
WNBA
colleagues
have
invited me
to be on
panels and
teach
seminars.
It’s all
about who
you meet
and the
connections
you make
that help
you along
professionally.
I also
coach
writers on
building
their
writer's
resumes and
hold
‘Submission
Support
Groups.’

From
Our
Chapter
President
Dear WNBA-SF
Friends,
Welcome
to
2009!
The
Chinese
calendar
tells us
we are
beginning
the
"Year
of the
Earth
Ox."
Many of
us who
grew up
in the
Midwest
are
familiar
with a
very
famous Ox
– Babe
the Blue
Ox who
was the
side kick
of Paul
Bunyan.
Babe and
Paul are
folk
heroes
who
symbolize
reliability,
sincerity
and
strength.
Not just
brute
strength,
although
Babe is
rumored
to have
“dug” the
Grand
Canyon
with Paul
guiding
the plow,
but
strength
of
character
and
integrity.
Whatever
projects
or plans
2009
holds for
you, I
hope you
will
remember
that in
the “Year
of the
Earth Ox”
we all
have the
capacity
to
succeed
at
whatever
we dare
to
dream.
For
those of
you who
dream of
an
opportunity
to read
your
writing
at a
public
venue,
WNBA-SF
is
sponsoring
a
Writers
Reading
on March
14, 7
p.m.
at
BookShop
West
Portal.
We only
have room
for a
limited
number of
readers,
so sign
up NOW if
you want
to
participate.
Visit our

include
finding
an agent,
be sure
to attend
our
Meet-the-Agents
Event on
Sat. am,
March
28 at
Sinbad’s
Restaurant
in San
Francisco.
This is
your
chance to
get your
writing
project
really on
the road
to
publication.
As an
added
bonus,
WNBA-SF

Knippel
leading the
participants
in a
hands-on
fun,
playful
collage and
writing
exercise to
tap into
getting
those
creative
juices
flowing.
Collage,
from the
French "to
stick" is
regarded as
a work of
visual arts
made from
an
assemblage
of
different
forms,
creating a
new whole.
It often
combines
images and
words
resulting
in stories
rich in
imagination
and depth.
Journal
writing is
a creative,
empowering
path to
self-discovery
and change
as well as
a
connection
to working
on our
inner life
and outer
relationships.
It is a
safe place
to vent and
a trusted
friend who
always
keeps
confidences
and a tool
for healing
your body
and
mind.

History
The
Woman's
National
Book
Association
is
a
national
organization
of
women
and
men
who
work
with
and
value
books.
WNBA
exists
to
promote
reading
and
to
support
the
role
of
women
in
the
community
of
the
book.
The
San
Francisco
Chapter
of
WNBA
was
founded
in
1968
by
Effie
Lee
Morris,
then
coordinator
of
Children's
Services
for
the
San
Francisco
Main
Public
Library.
Membership
has
ranged
from
sixty
to
one
hundred.
Our
members
are
writers,
booksellers,
agents,
editors,
publishers,
publicists,
librarians,
graphic
designers,
career
coaches,
marketing
specialists,
conference
planners,
aspiring
authors
and
avid
readers.
The
San
Francisco
branch
of
WNBA
is
one
chapter
in
a
vibrant
organization
with
over
800
members
across
the
county.
Each
branch
has
its
own
flavor
and
lively
events
to
honor
books,
the
creation
of
books,
the
world
of
books,
and
allied
arts.
The
Women's
National
Book
Association
has
been
a
Non-Governmental
Organization
member
of
the
United
Nations
since
1959.
An
NGO
is
defined
as
"any
non-profit,
voluntary
citizens'
group
which
is
organized
on
a
local,
national
or
international
level.
Task-oriented
and
driven
by
people
with
a
common
interest,
NGOs
perform
a
variety
of
services
and
humanitarian
functions,
bring
citizens'
concerns
to
governments,
monitor
policies
and
encourage
political
participation
at
the
community
level."
In
effect,
WNBA
members
are
to
be
ambassadors
for
the
UN.
Our
organization
disseminates
information
about
the
United
Nations
through
all
the
means
at
our
disposal,
especially
through
our
national
and
chapter
publications
and
monthly
programs.
