SUMMARY:CREATIVITY FOR CHANGE ~ CalPoets' 2019 Statewide Symposium with Juan Felipe Herrera
DESCRIPTION:For 55 years\, California Poets in the Schools has brought the powerful magic of poetry creation and performance to over one million students.  Our work is more important than ever!  Studies show that student involvement in the arts is linked to higher academic performance\, increased standardized test scores\, greater involvement in community service and lower dropout rates.  Creativity is the #1 desired skill in today’s job market.  Poetry instruction builds empathy and a sense of belonging in the classroom setting.  Poetry and the arts can be a powerful\, healing tool for schools and communities recovering from natural disasters and other traumas such as gun violence. \nThis weekend conference is open to the public and geared towards literary teaching artists (for all audiences)\, classroom educators\, poets\, MFA candidates and more.  Content will be engaging for those brand new to teaching the literary arts and to the “old hats” among us. \nAt this Symposium\, workshops will be geared towards the theme of Creativity for Change.  How can poetry in the classroom be a transformational tool for positive change?  How can our lesson plans respond swiftly with resilience and flexibility to the most pressing issues of our time?  How do we need to change and grow ourselves in order to best serve our communities? We will learn from experts in our midst and pool our best practices for a weekend of learning\, networking\, community-building\, poetry readings and some good old-fashioned fun. \nJuan Felipe Herrera will join us as our creative writing workshop leader\, keynote reader and presenter.  In 2015 Juan Felipe Herrera was appointed the 21st United States Poet Laureate\, the first Mexican American to hold the position. Herrera grew up in California as the son to migrant farmers\, which he has commented strongly shaped much of his work. A Washington Post article tells the story that “As a child\, Herrera learned to love poetry by singing about the Mexican Revolution with his mother\, a migrant farmworker in California. Inspired by her spirit\, he has spent his life crossing borders\, erasing boundaries and expanding the American chorus.”

SUMMARY:Simon Hanselmann: Bad Gateway
DESCRIPTION:Simon Hanselmann joins us to discuss his new graphic novel Bad Gateway\, the latest installment in the Megg and Mogg series. \nAbout Bad Gateway \nPerpetually intoxicated\, lovable degenerates Megg and Mogg have drifted through a consequence-free life full of raucous antics. But their heavy drug use\, once a gateway to adventure\, has begun to take a grim psychological toll. As her unstable lifestyle finally catches up to her\, Megg turns to her past to uncover the roots of the self-destructive habits that have led her down this dark path. Bad Gateway is the magnum opus that Simon Hanselmann’s previous work has been building towards\, careening into new psychological depths. \nSimon Hanselmann was born in 1981 in Launceston\, Tasmania. His New York Times best-selling Megg & Mogg series has been translated into thirteen languages\, nominated for multiple Ignatz and Eisner awards\, and won “Best Series” at the Angoulême International Comics Festival in 2018. He currently lives in Seattle with his wife and a rotating cast of small animals.
