OC LIVE invites you to join us for “Two Latina Authors Talking S*!T” on Tuesday, April 16th at 6pm in the beautiful Oxnard College Performing Arts Building. We are honored to have essayist Myriam Gurba (author of “Creep: Accusations and Confessions”) and poet Crystal AC Salas (author of “Grief Logic”) in conversation as they share passages from their own work while discussing each other’s work. These two contemporary Latinx authors will tackle themes of intersectional Latinx identity, creeping oppression, toxicity, family, what it means to navigate language, and girl/woman/hood. This event will be moderated by W. David Hall, Oxnard College’s own English professor. This is a FREE event that is open to the public and is co-sponsored by BreakBread Literacy Project.
