**At Skylight Books** February 20th is the birthday of legendary Los Angeles poet SCOTT WANNBERG. Join family, friends and fans at **Skylight Books, 1818 N. Vermont Ave. in Los Angeles ** as we all sing Scott's simultaneous languages of love at the first whenever SCOTT WANNBERG UNINVIATIONAL BIRTHDAY READ INDEED!, an open reading hosted by S.A. GRIFFIN. Festivities begin at 7:30pm. If you would like to be a part of the open reading, please bring poems by or for Scott. A largely unsung hero while he was here, Scott was a long playing heart beat atDutton's Books in Brentwood. A big man, Scott was and is one of the most original, vital voices in American verse. He never met a soul he didn't touch.
Born February 20, 1953 in Santa Monica, sadly, Scott passed away very suddenly August 19, 2011 in Florence, Oregon.
Come help us celebrate his work and bring him home on what would've been Scott's 59th birthday.
Both events are free.
