2024-11-20 | Publication Release: From California

The Book Club of California is pleased to publish From California: Poems by Dana Gioia, Engravings by Richard Wagener-an elegant work from two very accomplished California artists.
With the publication of From California, Richard Wagener, the distinguished wood engraver, and Dana Gioia, the renowned poet, delve into their shared perspectives on California, the state that has profoundly shaped their lives for more than six decades.
Working in vastly different mediums of expression, these two artists offer a convergence of cultural reflection and creative vision, illuminating the essence of California. Each poem and image in this book stands on its own. Together, they coalesce to form a rich mosaic of the spirit that is California.
Join us for the publication release with remarks by the poet and engraver and the opportunity to print your own keepsake. Members can pre-order this publication and collect the book at the event.
