Berkeley's Apogee Press is known for publishing the work of inventive poets - writers whose language runs the poetic gamut but who share an experimental bent. On Sunday, July 17, three such poets celebrate new books at Diesel (5433 College Ave., Oakland): Valerie Coulton reads from
Open Book, Tsering Wangmo Dhompa from
My Rice Tastes Like the Lake, and Edward Smallfield from
Equinox. 3 p.m., free. 510-653-9965 or DieselBookstore.com.
