Bucky Sinister, Known for Fiery Poetry, Will Read

San Francisco poet Bucky Sinister, known for his fiery poetry and high-energy delivery, will read at the Poets Reading meeting at 8 p.m. Saturday in the Fullerton Museum Center, 301 N. Pomona Ave., Fullerton.

Admission: $3.

Sinister, who sports a buzz haircut and combat boots, will be joined on stage by a mystery guest, poet Wendy-O. According to Poets Reading official Michael Logue, Wendy-O is also from San Francisco, but “all we know is that she can stand Bucky Sinister. Now that’s some recommendation!”

Both poets are part of the poetry group’s Poet Exchange Program with the Bay Area.

Poets Reading is a nonprofit corporation organized to present public readings and to provide scholarships to creative writing students in local colleges and universities. The readings are held every other Saturday at the Fullerton Museum Center.
