Join us for this exclusive event exploring the creativity and connection between lovers of the Sea and writers of Poetry and Prose. San Diego Poetry Annual's Michael Klam, himself a lifelong surfer and poet/artist, will lead a discussion with panelists, surf journalist Scott Bass, classical pianist (and surfer) Jeeyoon Kim, poet/visual artist Ted Washington, and lifelong surfer, artist and author Cher Pendarvis.

Following the conversation will be a limited Open Mic (3 min) where local San Diego poets can share their take on the influence and inspiration they draw from the sea.
