Sharon Elise Features at Palabra!

PALABRA
an evening of poetry hosted by Ted Washington

Featured reader Sharon Elise

Sharon is a Professor of Sociology at California State University, San Marcos conducts research and teaches on critical race and gender issues. She brings her sociological insight to poetry and poetics to sociology. She has been a periodic feature on the San Diego poetry scene and has published in the San Diego Poetry Annual and other regional pubs.

After the featured reading we will have an open mic for anyone who wants to read. Everyone is welcome to come and share a poem, song lyrics, reading or a short story or just bring your ears for listening and enjoy the evening. Original poetry is always appreciated. Everyone needs some place to speak their minds and Palabra is that place. We are an inclusive and supportive group that aim to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, positive environment, so all talent levels are welcome.

Doors open at 6:30pm and Poetry starts at 7:00pm sharp! We will have a sign-up sheet available at the counter. Each poet will speak for 3-5 minutes each so that everyone who wants to read can have a chance! Palabra poetry night will be every 2nd and 4th Thursday of the month.
