The mind, a dormant stone

Hello my friends, I am going to be reading this coming Weds, Sept. 21 at the Last Bookstore in the historic bank district of downtown LA! Yahooo! I will be there with my brothers and sisters of the Coiled Serpent Anthology from Tia Chucha Press! It's a free show, and it will be filmed! I am super stoked! The LAPS has a new videographer and is growing the team of officers/ head honchos/honchas :) More info:  http://lastbookstorela.com/events/2743/ The Coiled Serpent is an amazing collection of the diverse authors of LA, pulling from our stories of tragedy, triumph, and hysterics. A very special book, dedicated to our dearly departed poet heroes: Wanda Coleman John Trudell Francisco X. Alarcon Plus a great intro from LA's Poet LAureate, Luis J. Rodriguez! Way to rock it Tia Chucha Press -- what a beautiful LA legacy! WRITE ON!

Los Angeles is a mecca to all artists and vagabonds, to those easily bored, and to those who want to dream. This is my city. So I have a mission to help my poets. I may not know them personally, but I think it is essential to write into history the effective and influential poets that trek across Los Angeles; where 10 miles may feel like 100 miles in LA traffic. While the poor man might be the wisest man, I want to make sure everyone knows his name! You dig? I'm writing LA Poets into the free encyclopedia...that is the wiki. Since I meet so many writers in this city, I aim to help promote them on a different level, by means of the public eye and the internal internet. First on my list, my muse. Second could be you...
