Hi all,
Martha, Gabriella and I attended San Antonio Second Sunday (S.A.S.S.) at the Guadalupe Theater last night. The featured authors were undergrad and grad students from writing classes at UTSA. The students regaled us with their poetry which covered many topics, some serious, some humorous, but all enjoyable and inspiring. From S.A.S.S. Host Grisel Acosta’s “I Lost My Virginity To A DJ”, a performance poem, to Christy Sabo’s “Kisses That Never”, which depicted the ups and downs of relationships, the evening started with the highest potential. Chad Clayton’s “Chicken Man” had the audience in stitches before more sober poets made us ponder illegal immigration, undocumented workers in a poultry plant and the questionable policy of exorbitantly high out-of-state college tuition.
During the Open Mic portion of the program, new member to the Society and our new Hospitality Greeter, Gabriella Madrid, read a short story entitled “Mujer Siglo 21” depicting the horrors of anorexia, bulimia and liposuction. Past speaker at the Soceity Alicia Galvan also read her poetry, one of the poems was entitled, "Saints of the Bed Chamber". Longtime member, Martha Curcio, also read a short story, “Que Me Quiso Decir Mi Abuelo”, again inspiring this listener with her passion and love of family and of her mother country, Mexico .
The S.A.S.S. is taking a break for the holidays, so no program is scheduled for December, In January, 2008, the Peace Posse with Rodney Garza and Dayva Hernandez will be the featured performers/ readers. Join in for the Open Mic afterwords – be it poetry, short stories, novel excerpts, playing music, whatever your talent.
