Readings



Judy Kronenfeld has given or participated in over 70 readings in Southern California. She has been a featured poet at such venues as The Rose Café, The Palm Springs Art Museum, The Palm Springs Bookfest, the dA Center for the Arts (Pomona), The Open Door Books Poetry Series (San Diego), Laguna Poets (Laguna Beach), The Claremont Public Library, The Riverside Public Library, The Glen Avon Public Library, Pitzer College, The University of California, Irvine, The University of California, Riverside, California State University Fullerton, and several Borders’ Bookstores.


"Judy speaks personally and meaningfully about her experience as a first-generation American and how she returned to writing poetry. It is particularly enlightening to learn about her process of writing and the background for some of her deeply-felt poems. Many in the audience--a group of older professional women--commented she was the best, most inspiring speaker for the year" --Vicki Broach, Program Chair, UCR Affiliates.
