Welcome. At Berkeley City College, I teach two sections of Integrated Composition Studies in the PACE department. This is a course designed to (re) introduce PACE students to college writing. Students must be in the PACE department to enroll in this class.
I also teach the Poetry Writing class ( English 91-94). This is a multi-level class in which we explore the components of poetic language, write our own poetry, and workshop our poems. The atmosphere is very supportive whether you are just penning your first poem or preparing a book-length manuscript. There are reading and writing assignments every week. If you are working on a set project, you can set your own assignments.
In addition, I am the faculty coordinator for the Milvia Street journal, the art and literary journal of Berkeley City College, published since 1989.
Please note> the phone number listed above is NOT mine. Please contact me by email: scoleman@peralta.edu
Milvia Street art and literary journal, first published in 1989, has
featured creative work by Berkeley City College students--many who have gone
on to university writing or art programs--recent alumni, faculty and staff.
It is student edited and produced publication that in 1996 won national
first place in the Literary Magazine competition of the Community College
Humanities Association, and since then has placed in the top three.
Current and back issues can be purchased at BCC's Cashier's Office, 2050
Center Street, Berkeley. The current issue is also available at Cody's on
Forth Street in Berkeley. Past and current issues can also be seen in the
Berkeley History Room and the Berkeley Public Library and in the Bancroft
Library, U. C. Berkeley.
Submissions: You must be a Berkeley City College student, recent alumnus,
faculty, staff, or administration to submit work.
Literary Submissions may be poems, short stories, plays, memoir, creative
nonfiction, manifestos, etc. Please send only 3 pieces per person, poems up

We form prose and poetry selection committees at the beginning of the fall

During the spring semester, the journal is designed and desk topped by Janet
Guastavino's InDesign class, CIS 248VA + B, for which you can also sign up.

release of the new issue, and throughout the year there are often readings
at different venues in the Bay Area.
