On November 9th at 7:00 PM Pacific Time Monday November 9 I’ll be interviewing Latina slam/performance poet Christina Perez on Women’s Voices, streaming live on www.KZYX.org.
It should be a very interesting show– Christina is an amazing performance poet. I met her at the Mendocino Coast Writer’s Conference this past summer and was blown away by the power of her poetry and her presence.
Her work is comedic, political, self-exposing, and connecting. Her poems are both deeply personal and completely honest. Christina mines for words that get right “to the bone,” yet maintain a deft and hypnotic complexity, and she is explosively engaging to watch. She uses voice and body to add layer, depth, and power to her art. Christina will also perform in Fort Bragg at Women’s Open Mic Night at V’Cantos restaurant at 124 East Laurel Steet on Thursday November 12th. One performance only: 7:30 PM
We want to bring Christina to Fort Bragg for future workshops with at-risk youth in association with the Mendocino Coast Writer’s Conference, Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Mendocino County, and the Youth Project, so if you are in the area on November 12th, support this vision and stop by V’Cantos to experience her amazing voice for yourself!
