Roy Mash
Roy Mash is a longtime board member of Marin Poetry Center.
In a previous life he held degrees in English, Philosophy, and Computer Science.
Currently he appears as a regular in the movie of his life, where his character can be found doodling his time away, staring out of cafe windows, dabbing up the seeds that have fallen from an everything bagel, and mentally thumbing over his poems that have appeared widely in journals such as Agni, Atlanta Review, Barrow Street, Nimrod, Passages North, Poetry East, Rhino, and River Styx.
His first book, Buyer’s Remorse, debuted in 2014.
Mash’s poems celebrate the small, the overloo!ed, the underrated. drawing on sources from The Three Stooges to Archimedes, Lavoisier to Tweety Bird, Mash is a latter day Anti-Oracle, a nail in the tire of post-modernity, an incorrigible wag who has smuggled his pea shooter into the Church of Poetry.

Josh Wilson, a journalist and editor in San Francisco, started The Fabulist in 2007 as a home for fantastical fiction and art of all sorts. The site reflects a certain omnivorous appetite for far-out stories that disregards genre, and instead breaks fiction down as “fables, yarns and tales.”
By doing so, The Fab hopes to disrupt audience expectations and open up new terrain for the literature of the fantastic.
Join us June 12 at Studio 333 in Sausalito when WTAW features Bay Area readers published in The Fabulist for a weird, wild, and wonderful night.

Sylvie Simmons
British, ukulele-playing, award-winning writer of fiction and non-fiction, Leonard Cohen’s biographer and the subject of BBC documentary ‘The Rock Chick.’
Sunday, May 18, 20 14 2:00-4:00 p.m.
Book Passage – 51 Tarnal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera
Donation: Members $5, Nonmembers $10
An award-winning author and renowned Rock journalist, since the late Seventies, Sylvie was born in London and lives in San Francisco.
Her books include Serge Gainsbourg: A Fistful of Gitanes, which J.G Ballard named as a favorite; short story collection Too Weird for Ziggy; and I’m Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen, The New York Times bestseller that NPR called the best biography of2012.
She also writes songs and performs with a ukulele. Leonard Cohen calls her “darling.”
“Writing about a living subject,” Sylvie Simmons says, means having “to immerse yourself in that person’s life to a degree that would probably get you locked up in any decent society.” It can also mean abandoning all hope of objectivity. But despite her simpatico feel for the life and work of her subject, Ms. Simmons’s “I’m Your Man” is the major, soul-searching biography that Leonard Cohen deserves.”NYTimes, September 2013.
