Awaken the Senses and Your Wild Mind: A Writing Workshop for the Italian Burning Experience 2026

I am currently in northern Tuscany, Italy, drinking a delicious Negroni and listening to a fabulous DJ-- who I think is from Italy, maybe Milan, but could be from just about anywhere in the world... because the Italian Burning Experience attracts people from all over the world, people with many talents. Last year I fell in love with a DJ from Vienna-- and then I was able to go to Vienna and hear her-- and attend Pride there!...

“to dress in red” by Weshoyot Alvitre on Day

May is the month for awareness for Mission and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives, and today May 5 is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2-Spirit people (MMIWG2S). We wear red to honor them and make them visible, to remember them and miss them. Observed on May 5, this day calls attention to an ongoing crisis and reflects the work of Ethnic Studies to center Indigenous histories, voices, and resistance....

Author Talks: I Hope You Know How F*n Cool You Are

April is National Poetry Month -- and it's a good month to celebrate authors of all types! Today my Ventura College students are sharing presentations about the Book Clubs they've been a part of since March, and I thought I'd start by sharing some news from one of our frequent book club authors, Tony Fletcher. Students often choose to read his memoir…...

Practice

In advance of Valentine's Day, we did some fun writing activities in my college composition classes at Ventura College, and I shared some of my writing and my writing process as well. Since the students this week were writing about the writing process and writing practice, it was particularly appropriate. Below is one of the poems I shared from a class publication of many years ago which I hope will inspire them for the class publication we will do at the end of the semester....

Celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Black History Month: Watch Michelle Obama’s “Becoming” + toast with Black Girl Magic

It's the 100th anniversary of Black History Month this year!

In 1926, 100 years ago, Black History Month began as “Negro History Week” and 50 years later, became Black History Month in 1976. ...
