The moon's been a powerful force in my life and right now her presence, her imagery, her inspiration are more alive than ever. On May, 21, 2016, I'll be a featured reader at the Lunada Literary Lounge -- a long running open mic and feature writer reading series in the heart of San Francisco's Mission District that only happens on the full moon -- curated by poeta extraordinaire and true homegirl, Sandra Garcia Rivera. I'll be reading excerpts from my memoir In the Womb of Love about losing my first born infant daughter, my novel in verse for middle grades, The Moon Within, and also some of my story that inspired the ballet, By the Light of the Moon, of course!
Full moon energy is intended for celebration. I'll be celebrating my return to writing, a return to my heart, to my commitment to storytelling as an act of resistance and positive social change. I am beyond grateful to the Lunada and Sandra especially for the invitation, for creating this space and keeping the light lit for writers to find their way home.
