California Happenings Tonight

I've been out all week with the flu. Better now. But didn't post all week, now playing catch up.

If you're in or near the Bay Area tonight, you'll have to catch this event in San Francisco with a couple of my favorite Xicanerati:

Mexico City, Mon Amour: Readings and Conversations with

Marisela Norte

Alfred Arteaga

Jaime Jacinto


Sat, Feb 17, 2 PM

Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in the Room for Big Ideas

701 Mission St. (at 3rd)

FREE

In conjunction with Sensacional! Mexican Street Graphics, join us for an afternoon of poetry and conversation with venerated poets Marisela Norte, Jaime Jacinto, and Alfred Arteaga. Reading from published and unpublished poetry and personal journals, our three poets bring life to the contradictions, complexities, and terrible beauty of El Distrito Federal.
