Event Description: Consider this. What we didn’t know before, we’ve learned over time through lovers, through demonstrations, the nightlife, the bars. We’re butch and femme, dyke and crone, earthly and wild, and altogether queer. We are the memory and the future. And we’re not finished yet. Come hear Southern California lesbian poets over 60 share words crafted on our journeys over time. Discussion and Q & A to follow reading.

2024-05-11 12:45 - 16:00 | Los Angeles LGBT Center Senior Services, Pride Hall 1118 N. McCadden Place, Los Angeles, CA, 90038
Through origin and chosen families, bloodlines and battles, our roots have been watered by loving kin, and those who treasured or traumatized us. We’ve raised hell and raised ourselves and others, found refuge in women and the solace of strength in sisterhood. We bring you writings from these lives and will make spaces for you to share yours. Come join.
Participating poets: Jennifer Abod, Gayle Fuhr, Olga Garcia Echeverria, Catherine Gewertz, Antonieta Gimeno Cardona, Susana Gonzales, Dorothy Randall Gray, Traci Kato-Kiriyama, Bonnilee Kaufman, Ronna Magy, Janet L. Nicholson and Carla Rachel Sameth.

Writing About the Difficult: Borrowing a Form to Break into Your Story Writing Workshop
2025-11-15 11:00 - 13:00 | Altadena Main Library, 600 East Mariposa Street, Altadena, CA, 91001, United States
with Carla Rachel Sameth
November 15, 2025 – 11 am -1 pm
Main Library Community Room

Is there a particular story or poem that’s been bouncing around in your head and you can’t find the way in? In this workshop, we’ll look at different frames and containers that other writers have used to tell their story. You’ll then spend time writing your own piece, matching form and theme.

Memory is fragile and imperfect and trauma can cause further fragmentation of memory making it more elusive. Sometimes writing in alternative forms, non-linear—for example, a letter of rejection, operating instructions or a prescription—helps one to excavate the material.
