LitFest in the Dena on May 4 and 5: BOOKS THAT MADE THE NEIGHBORHOOD

 

Neighborhoods, whether real or fictitious, conventional or boundless, changing for better or worse, bestow an identity; give us a way of seeing things – a way of seeing the world. It’s more than a collection of houses on a network of streets. A neighborhood could be defined as a collection of people with unique experiences, conditions and desires, who together form something bigger and deeply affecting. People who engender powerful stories together.

Join us for two days of FREE author panels and readings at this year’s LitFest in the Dena, Mt. View Mausoleum, 2300 N. Marengo Ave, Altadena, CA 91001. I am delighted to be moderating a panel on Saturday, May 4, and serving as a guest author for the closing panel on Sunday, May 5. Check out the whole schedule of authors here.

 

LitFest in the Dena takes place at the historic and monumental setting of Mountain View Mausoleum, located at 2300 N. Marengo Avenue in Altadena, CA. Please note: Google this address, as sometimes the cemetery will come up, which is at a different address. Make sure you are going to the Marengo location! There are multiple spots within the Mausoleum for our panels, workshops and readings. Authors and visitors to the festival will be directed by ushers to their specific locations.
