Did you ever read La Bloga?

Quarterly poetry reading goes on with a Hitch at Holy Grounds
Coffee and Tea is the perfect place to be this Saturday afternoon -- even if this stretch of Alhambra Road in El Sereno looks like nothing special ever goes down around here.

Here is an industrial landscape paralleling a railroad right-of-way. Across the street from a mural-tagged alley, visitors are here for something special, the quarterly Hitched reading. …

Hitched has full bios for the readers on its Facebook page. The artists’ principal occupations range from high school sophomore to college professor. Their work appears in diverse places, from chapbook to periodical to literary journal, including Huizache: The Magazine of Latino Literature, to novel.

The writers have "hitched" to a star and are well on their way. Today's program features narrative prose work and some poetry. Billed as "Hitched: California Women's Voices" and a celebration of International Women's Day, Xochitl-Julisa Bermejo's invited an all-woman lineup.

The five readers were here to take advantage of Holy Grounds’ peaceful stage... La Bloga
