You can still find a way for your Barnes&Noble online purchases to benefit The Hub!, a community service center supporting current and former foster youth. Here’s a picture of 17 year old Carmen Martinez, guest reader from The Hub, reading us a poem in Spanish and English.
Full details at the former post.
I’m in the midst of end of the semester madness at SJSU, but hope to post a recap from our wonderful reading December 6. It was a moving and memorable event, and yes, a good time was had by all.
Soon,

What a terrific picture of Carmen reading! I enjoyed all the poems, especially the sounds of languages I did not yet know — a great start to my holiday season, and it was even on St. Nicholas’ Day! It was an honor and a great pleasure to participate.
