Lucky Friday Underground

Well this weekend I was feeling pretty lucky to have been invited to go to the 2nd Sun Salon hosted by Lisa Lee, Krista Franklin and Duriel E. Harris. It was such a wonderful experience to be surrounded by so many creative people. I am always inspired by people making an impact on the arts. The readings were incredible to say the least!

The features included:

Avery R. Young, Writer, teaching artist and performer
Shirlette Ammons, poet, writer, musician and director of an arts program for children
John Murillo, two time Larry Neal Writer's Award winner
Krista Franklin, poet and visual artist
Duriel E. Harris, founding member of the Black Tool Collective and Poetry Editor for Obsidian
Itch13, DJ, MC and producer from Chicago

Los Eloteros writing collective: Amanda Torres, Christina Correa, Jose Luis Benavides and Genine

Artistic movements are marvelous! I think everyone's creative work jolted the creativity of others.

As the evening came to a close, a light dusting of snow had fallen and all I wanted to do was go home and write before the creativity melted away.
