Los Angeles often gets a bad rap when it comes to literary culture. Let's take a moment to set the record straight. Our city's literary scene is alive and thriving. Thursday MOCA and PEN Center USA invite you to a night of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction all centered around the museum's impressive permanent contemporary collection.
The MOCA says:
MMIX Los Angeles Writers, co-founded by recipients of the 2009 PEN Center USA Emerging Voices Fellowship, read new work in response to the exhibition Collection: MOCA's First Thirty Years. The group's eight members--:poets, fiction and non-fiction writers--:draw inspiration from their diverse communities and experiences, and from the dynamic interplay of the literary and visual arts. Featuring: Erika Ayon, John Boucher, Rachelle Cruz, Thi Dao, Parnaz Foroutan, Sylvia Sukop, Marissa Tinloy, and Mehnaz Turner.
