Publication and Performance!

Last night I performed my poem "Knowing" in the Golden Eagle Ballroom at my alma mater Cal State L.A. because it was published in the 2013 issue of the university's Statement magazine.

Workshop!

Yesterday morning I made my annual visit to Mrs. Guarino's Creative Writing class at Clark Magnet High School in Glendale for the 14th time!  The seniors wrote some amazing poems.  I'm looking forward to seeing them in published form.  One student even wrote about me!

Performance!

Last night I performed two poems as one of seven featured poets in the 2013 San Gabriel Valley Poetry Festival's culminating event CO-INSPIRATORS at the Donald Wright Auditorium inside the Pasadena Main Library.
