Napa Valley Writers will host Iris Jamahl Dunkle, an award-winning writer and Poet Laureate of Sonoma County 2017-2018.

The archives.  In them, we can find the secret history.  We can begin to see the past as it really was. For the past decade, Iris has been writing poetry and biography from the archives, both public and private.  Come join her as she talks about her work and teaches you how to pursue your own research.

Iris wrote the first full-length biography on Charmian London, Jack London’s wife, Charmian Kittredge London: Trailblazer, Author, Adventurer published by the University of Oklahoma Press in 2020. Her fourth collection of poems, West: Fire: Archive was published by The Center for Literary Publishing in 2021.  Iris teaches at Napa Valley College and is the Poetry and Translation Director of the Napa Valley Writers’ Conference.
