Dispatch from Washington DC

It’s been a few weeks since my reading at the National Museum of American History. I was treated very well by Magdalena Mieri and her folks at the Smithsonian. Such nice people!

Here’s me at the mic reading. I must say, I didn’t expect to be so mentally exhausting to read so many times in so few days. But by the fourth reading, I had it down.

My gracious host Francisco Aragon, Naomi Ayala (great reader!), and myself

I found it interesting that this date palm knife was displayed in the museum, what more, it’s from Indio, CA.
