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
- Luis Campos
- 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.
