Media Poetry Studio Screening August 1st

My two good friends, Erica Goss and David Perez, are running Media Poetry Studio, a summer day camp teaching video poetry to young women. This program is fiscally sponsored by California Poets in the Schools. 

Each student is producing a short film inspired by her creative writing. As such, we are holding a screening to showcase their work! 

We are so proud of our students' work thus far. Every day they come with fresh insights and a willingness to experiment with new technologies and filmmaking tools. 

Join us to help celebrate their work in this exciting genre.

Click through here to read my friend Erica Goss's smart answer to the question: do we really need this?

Here's my essay on the subject, discussing how my mother (the reader/writer) and my father (the computer programmer) combined to make me the poet I am (hopefully) today.
