SUMMARY:In Common Writers Series: Tim Z. Hernandez\, Marguerite Muñoz\, and René Juarez-Vazquez\, reading at Voz Sin Tinta
DESCRIPTION:For the concluding program in The Poetry Center’s In Common Writers Series for Spring 2019\, we are very pleased to present poet and novelist Tim Z. Hernandez\, visiting from El Paso\, Texas\, to read from his newest novel\, All They Will Call You\, and present his research in relation to the Mexican workers who were killed as they were being deported by the U.S. government in the 1942 “plane wreck at Los Gatos\, memorialized in Woody Guthrie’s song. Following an early afternoon reading at The Poetry Center\, where Hernandez will be joined after reading by poets Marguerite Muñoz and René Juarez-Valdez in conversation\, we’ll move to the Mission the same evening for a reading featuring all three writers\, presented in conjunction with Voz Sin Tinta (to be followed by the Voz Sin Tinta open mic). Supported by the Walter & Elise Haas Fund\, both events are free and open to the public. \nTim Z. Hernandez is an award-winning writer and performer. His work includes poetry\, fiction and non-fiction\, and he is the recipient of numerous awards\, most notably the American Book Award\, the Colorado Book Award\, and the International Latino Book Award. His work has been featured in the Los Angeles Times\, the New York Times\, C-Span\, and NPR’s All Things Considered. Public Radio International hailed his book\, Mañana Means Heaven\, as one of their top picks of the year in 2013. The book is based on the real life story of Bea Franco\, “Terry\, The Mexican Girl” in Jack Kerouac’s On the Road. In 2011\, Hernandez was named one of sixteen New American Poets by the Poetry Society of America\, and he was a finalist for the inaugural Split This Rock Freedom Plow Award for his research and work on locating the victims of the 1948 plane wreck at Los Gatos Canyon\, the incident made famous by Woody Guthrie’s song of the same name. The result of this work is the basis for his latest book\, All They Will Call You\, the first installment of a trilogy he continues to write and research. Hernandez holds a B.A. from Naropa University and an M.F.A. from Bennington College. He is a full time Assistant Professor with the University of Texas El Paso’s Bilingual M.F.A. in Creative Writing Online. \nMarguerite Muñoz writes “on the border of Berkeley & Oakland.” For the past four years and under the sponsorship of Alley Cat Books and former San Francisco Poet Laureate Alejandro Murguia\, she has co-curated Voz Sin Tinta\, a monthly bilingual showcase and open mic that provides a safe\, supportive space for emerging writers and community voices that often go unheard. Marguerite’s work speaks to interconnectedness sensed through spirit\, blurred boundaries between inner and outer worlds\, and the nameless desires she holds as a woman surviving in today’s modern world. Her poems and creative non-fiction have been featured at Get Lit\, Liminal\, Poems Under the Dome\, Jingletown Reading and Open Mic\, City Limits Gallery\, and the Cante Jondo Series\, and she is honored to have poems published in The Haight Asbury Journal and Cipactli. \nRené Juarez-Vazquez is a Bay Area Native\, writer\, and educator. He is a professor of Latina/Latino Studies at San Francisco State University and holds degrees in English and Creative Writing. With Marguerite Muñoz\, he co-curates Voz Sin Tinta\, a multilingual reading series in the San Francisco Mission District. His book\, The Planet of The Dead\, is available from Nomadic Press. Follow him on Twitter @FKA_RENE \nRelated event: \nIn Common Writers Series\nTim Z. Hernandez\nreading and in conversation with Marguerite Muñoz and René Juarez-Vazquez\nThursday MAY 9\n1:00 pm @ The Poetry Center\nHumanities 512\, SF State\, free and open to the public\nsupported by the Walter & Elise Haas Fund \nIn Common Writers Series Thanks to a generous grant from the Walter & Elise Haas Fund\, The Poetry Center will present six double-programs (twelve events in all) during 2018–19\, featuring a series of remarkable writers from across the US\, paired in conversation and performance with\, for the most\, local area writers with whom they share strong affinities. Each featured guest writer appears at The Poetry Center—we’re doing outreach in particular to students and faculty in SF State’s College of Ethnic Studies—reading and in conversation with their paired guest writer and the audience. Then\, moving off-campus\, both writers read their work at one of the Bay Area’s local bookstores. We want to recognize our bookstores as crucial cultural centers and\, paradoxically maybe\, among the most long-lived and durable cultural sites in this violently gentrified region. Details on our six 2018-19 programs and featured artists here. \nEvent contact:\nThe Poetry Center\nEvent email:\npoetry@sfsu.edu\nEvent phone:\n415-338-2227\nEvent sponsor:\nThe Poetry Center and Voz Sin Tinta

SUMMARY:Denise Bergman and Dean Rader
DESCRIPTION:Denise Bergman discusses her new poetry collection\, Three Hands None\, with Dean Rader. \nPraise for Three Hands None \n“Fearless\, unsparing\, Denise Bergman probes a violent\, sexual assault to expose the personal and social consequences of ungovernable\, masculinist culture. ‘Home is the coat that can’t keep me warm or dry / buttons and holes I can’t align\, ‘ the poet declares\, struggling to rebuild a coherent self. A book-length narrative poem\, THREE HANDS NONE reveals how ‘materials for this story’ also account for domestic and international tragedies: ‘the single-eyed babies born in Fallujah’ and ‘strip-mined flattened hills.’ A single sequence–of narrative\, fragment\, and image–this original work will leave you breathless\, changed.”–Robin Becker \n  \n“To read Denise Bergman’s THREE HANDS NONE is to inhabit an intimate accounting of a sexual assault in her bed by a stranger that reduced the writer to ‘barebones nothing.’ The accounting is obsessive\, almost Steinian in its use of repetition to render the ripping of self that occurred during and after the event\, the long days and nights when she ‘sweated inside matted wool terror filthy as a sheep.’ The poems that compose the volume read like the raw data of a mind working nonstop to parse the violence that severed her from ‘a body once her own.’ They collapse the distance between past and present\, silence and speech\, material and the metaphor\, inside and out. The journey is not for the timid; images climb inside and rake your chest. But Bergman’s supple intelligence–whose ‘home is the range of one’s instinct’–and mastery of her craft carry her and her reader through: ‘Word on the street is she still lives there.'”–Lee Sharkey.

SUMMARY:You're Going To Die
DESCRIPTION:YOU’RE GOING TO DIE: POETRY\, PROSE & EVERYTHING GOES…\n\nThursday\, May 9\, 2019\n7:30 PM  10:30 PM\nThe Lost Church (map)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou’re Going to Die: Poetry\, Prose & Everything Goes Open Mic at The Lost Church w/Ned Buskirk \n$10 in advance and at the door.\nTickets: http://bit.ly/YG2D_May9\nVenue: The Lost Church – San Francisco\nThe Lost Church is Cash Only at the door (at this time). \nDoors at 7:30pm.\nShow at 8:15pm.\nAll performances end at 10:30pm.\nSeating is first come\, first served. \nWe recommend you buy in advance to ensure being a part of the event (parlor shows often sell out)\, but you can also try purchasing at the door on the night of the show (although\, we do NOT set aside a block of tickets for door purchase) \nAges 10 and over are welcome. (Parental discretion is advised for some events).\n+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\nYou’re Going to Die: Poetry\, Prose & Everything Goes…\nis an open mic event\, the communal offering for us to explore the conversation of death & dying\, to embrace our losses & mortality\,\nto grieve\, bereave & honor those we’ve lost & love… while all the while making room for simply being ALIVE. \nSign-ups will be the night of & the list fills up quickly\, so if you want to perform\, you’d better get there early… \nIf you’re going to perform\, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. WE WILL TIME YOU. And we will hug you when we have to stop you [just to make it easier on you (or harder – depending on your propensity for intimacy)]. \nPoetry\, prose\, music\, dancing\, comedy\, drama\, happy\, sad\, & on & on & on… Remember: EVERYTHING GOES… so do whatever you want. \nYou don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers. \nPlease don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage. Honestly\, plugging things in is endlessly boring. If you need to borrow an instrument\, figure it out before you’re called to the stage. \nIMPORTANT ::: DON’T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY. Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday\, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously\, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged. \nYou’re Going to Die. No. Really. You are.
