Workshop at UCR, Palm Desert
I am happy to return as alumni to UCR, Palm Desert where I got my MFA in creative writing last June. I will be teaching a workshop on literary citizenship. I know that we are all struggling with how to fight back against the continual attack on our communities, and the only way I know how is to stay connected to people, to reach out and to build.
Writers with roots in SELA at Art Space HP
Four writers, with roots in South East LA will be sharing their poetry. We all grew up in the neighborhood and we found our way to writing. These are writers I admire greatly because they forged a path for me to follow. They all have amazing work. You can check out their websites by clicking on their names
