I have the honor of reading at this great big writer's conference in LA thanks to my beautiful friend and colega, Vickie Vertiz. The panel that she has so generously coordinated and will be moderating will feature writers that hail from Southeast LA - Stephan D. Gutierrez, Melinda Palacio, Vickie and yours truly!
Here are the details:
From Bukowski to Viramontes, working-class writing in Los Angeles is a longstanding tradition. Latinos are the largest ethnic group in the county, bringing avant-garde aesthetics to literature. However, many of our stories have yet to be told. This reading highlights cutting edge poetry, story, and performance by working-class and queer Latinos from a little-known part of Los Angeles: the southeast. From railroad yards to factory floors, writers share their work of grit and heart.
