By Lynn McGee On a rainy afternoon in November, 20 or so people grope through the unlit backstages at Hollywood's GalaxyTheater. Eventually, they Charlotte Gusay of George Sand Books find the performance space where two Lamont award poetry winners-Henri Coulette and Robert Mezey-are scheduled to read their work. Suzanne Lummis, coordinator of this event as part of her Dogstar Poetry Series, carries glasses ofwine to the audience and asks if any- one is thirsty. Surprised strangers thank her and sip their rose. The two poets-dapper, well- -groomed college professors-deliver briskly paced, poignant samples ofwork . Their voices echo from the small stage, with its garish navy and pink walls. The Dogstar readings, unlike the dozens of other poetry series in the Los Angeles area, cen- ters its events around themes, and not necessar- ily around individual poets. One ofthe readings, Alan Mandel of the Los Angeles Theatre Center centered around the theme "Madness and Re- · covery," attracted droves of people who could relate to losing their minds and feeling better, even if they couldn't relate to poetry, per se. "Life Stories" and "Urban Poetry" were two other themes. A memorial reading for the late William Pillin attracted over 90 people. "Po- etry meets Prose" was held on the roof of the Galaxy Theater, which meant audience mem- cont£nued on page 19
