Poetry Reading with Melinda Palacio
Folsom Lockdown
Saturday, March 27th, 1-3pm |
|
|
Folsom Lockdown is that rare literary song that jars the heart, the memories, the pains, as well as what's good in all of us. Prison is not just that place far away where your loved ones may be--the razor wire structures have now reached into our homes, our thoughts, our feelings, our psyche. Somehow, we're all behind bars. And Melinda Palacio's poems are a welcome reprieve that dares to illustrate how poetry and art are the only real keys to all our liberations. This is a poet for our time, in hard times, when so many are doing time.
Her poetry book Folsom Lockdown won Kulupi’s 2009 Sense of Place cash prize and publication. Her work has been published in a wide variety of journals and anthologies.

BOMB
IT is the explosive new documentary from award-winning
director Jon Reiss investigating the most subversive and
controversial art form currently shaping international youth
culture: graffiti.
This cutting edge documentary tracks down today's most innovative
and pervasive street artists as they battle for control
over the urban visual landscape. You'll never look at public
space the same way again.
Chaz Bojórquez, featured in this
documentary, began his art career by spray-painting along
riverbeds. He attended an art school in Guadalajara, Mexico,
and at Chouinard Art Institute (now Cal Arts) the year before
graduating from high school in 1967. By the end of 1969,
Bojórquez had created a symbol that represented him
and the streets-a stylized skull called Señor Suerte
(Mr. Luck). It has become a gangster image of protection
from death.
Bojórquez continues to take old skool Cholo writing
further and further. He has come to be internationally known
and respected as one of the most influential graffiti artists
of our time.
This
film contains some explicit language.
$3
donation. No one turned away.
