California Poet: March 2008

Sunday, March 30, 2008. Our Schools are the Back of the Bus! In Edward James Olmos' film. Paula Crisostomo, played by actress Alexa Vega, astutely utilizes an interesting and cogent analogy to spur her fellow students to action; she notes that the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott that Dr. King led is similar to their collective plight in East Los Angeles high schools in the late 1960s: "Our schools are the back of the bus! A poem or short story means or says, not on. If students can't get craft instructi...

California Poet: October 2007

Wednesday, January 30, 2008. The name of his main influence). Why not try something else? Or, better yet, why not read someone besides. Influences can help and hurt us: They can enrich our poetry when we utilize the best of what they have to offer, but they can hurt us if we only have a few influences.

Monday, March 11, 2013. For My Mother, Frances R. Vasquez (1931-2013). My mother died on Saturday, March 9, 2013. The following poem is for her who gave six children their lives- no greater gift yet devised on the planet since the universe exploded. On the Day the Universe Ends. For Frances R. Vasquez.
