The library has had a Lummis Day associated poetry event each year for several years now and this year is no exception (my what a lot of years).  This year’s event is a celebratory reading by poets included in the anthology Wide Awake: Poets of Los Angeles and Beyond.  Included in the event are:
  • Erika Ayón

  • Larry Colker
  • Jawanza Dumisani
  • Jamie Asaye Fitzgerald
  • Charlotte Innes
  • Ron Koertge
  • & special guest poet Phoebe Ozuna.  

The event will be held on Saturday, May 30 beginning at 3:00 and everyone is welcome.
