PEN USA Emerging Voices Reading

At the Hammer Museum tonight:

Emerging Voices is a literary mentorship program designed to launch potential professional writers from underserved communities. Please join us on July 22, 2009, at 7:00 pm at the Hammer Museum for a reading by this year’s crop of talented writers (three poets, three fiction writers, and two memoirists) as they celebrate the completion of a year-long mentorship, including Author Evenings, workshops, master classes, courses at UCLA Extension, lectures, public readings, and informal sessions with mentors.

The eight recipients of the 2009 Emerging Voices Fellowship are: Erika Ayon, John Boucher, Rachelle Cruz, Thi Dao, Parnaz Foroutan, Sylvia Sukop, Marissa Tinloy, and Mehnaz Turner.
