Sundial Reading Series 4, ft. Joseph Kidney, Jenny Odell and Bernardo Wade in support of Acta Non Verba

​Please join us for the fourth edition of the Sundial Reading Series featuring authors Joseph Kidney, Jenny Odell, and Bernardo Wade. Sundial 4 will support the work of Acta Non Verba, an urban farm and nature access center in East Oakland that strengthens young people’s understanding of nutrition, food production, healthy living, and the natural environment.

​Created by poet Ben Gucciardi, the Sundial Reading Series at Local Economy celebrates Bay Area organizations doing vital community work and authors whose writing intersects in some way with the organization’s mission. A sundial marks local time and makes invisible relationships tangible. By listening to writers read with the featured organization’s work in mind, the hope is that the sometimes invisible relationships between thinking, expression, community and action become more tangible.

​Following readings by the three featured authors, Acta Non Verba Executive Director Leisel Whitlock Petersen will join the writers in conversation.
