Please join us for our next La Palabra Poetry.  This one sounds EXCITING.

Poet/writer Fernando Castro will be the featured poet at our next La Palabra.  His support for our literary programming is remarkable.  After Fernando’s reading, we will feast on Taquizas catered by Chef Daniel Chiu.  This is a mini fundraiser in celebration of La Palabra’s support for professional and emerging poets -- all proceeds will benefit La Palabra.  We hope you will join us for wonderful poetry and gastronomical delights in honor of La Palabra.

We look forward to seeing you here in support of La Palabra!

	Wom(b)an by Vanessa Annibali I once lived in an all-expenses paid luxury apartment With plush walls and lush carpeting There I was attended to constantly I was never tired, hungry, cried or experienced pain I once lived inside my mother, And since I moved out Life has never been the same.
	Jealous c by Frankie Hernandez I wanted to be his guitar the way he lifted her up in worship rubbed her curved body against his abs as he stroked couldn't he run his hand up and down the back of my neck? trickle his fingers quickly across my front? tease my hollowness? make me sing? I wanted him to be excited to deliberately maneuver me transfer his creative energy to my instrumental torso
