Tebot Bach

In October 1999, founding board members Mifanwy Kaiser and Mark Bergendahl elected to incorporate Orange County’s first nonprofit public benefit corporation dedicated to the support and promotion of strong community, literacy and personal growth through the art of poetry. Since its beginning, Tebot Bach has gained regional and national recognition as a publisher, as the producer of a poetry reading and writing series, and as the host of a poetry workshop series.

Tebot in Welsh means “little teapot.” It was chosen for this organization because the teapot is central to the spirit of community life in Wales, a community spirit that infuses the work of Tebot Bach.
