June Highlights and July Announcements

Well-RED presented spring mother tongue on June 13th

Heartfelt thanks to Poetry Center San Jose and Works/San Jose for hosting the publication party for spring mother tongue: Poetic Voices of Santa Clara County. I was happy to donate 100% of proceeds from all books sold that evening to the host organizations who do so much for our local community.

You can purchase a copy of spring mother tongue here.

The anthology presents work of 23 local poets. Thank you, poetas, for sharing your work with us!

Poetry Center San Jose has posted videos here.

Some photos from the evening:

On June 1st I had the honor of reading with Mighty Mike McGee for students in various poetry and writing classes at DeAnza. Thanks so much to Ken Weisner for making it happen! Also, be sure to check out the Euphrat Museum of Art on campus. The exhibitions are excellent.
