I'm gonna share it with others, including my African-American brothers and sisters, who would get a LOT from that poet. May Mr. Sanchez rest in peace.<br /><br />AliciaCappuccino Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103319691096956039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-1155760225584080082006-08-16T14:30:00.000-06:002006-08-16T14:30:00.000-06:00Try Monographicreview.org and check Volume III "Hi...Try Monographicreview.org and check Volume III "Hispanic Science Fiction/Fantasy and Thriller"<BR/>Have you read "The Memoirs of John Conde"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9367921.post-1155576300842700502006-08-14T11:25:00.000-06:002006-08-14T11:25:00.000-06:00have you tried "Hispanic science-fiction/fantasy a...have you tried "Hispanic science-fiction/fantasy and the thriller" / [editors, Janet Pérez, Genaro J.

Ray Rojas has a nice tribute on Pluma Fronteriza: http://www.plumafront.blogspot.com/that includes Trini's Tom Tancredo poem.

Presa<BR/>Contact: 889-6274<BR/><BR/>Friday, August 4, Gemini Ink, in partnership with the Society of Latino and Hispanic Writers, will host a First Friday Reading benefit for our Honorary Chairman, Trinidad Sanchez Jr. The First Friday event will be at Gemini Ink, 513 S. Presa, and will begin at 6:30 p.m. The event is open to the public, admission is free and free parking is available at Gemini Ink's designated parking lot. Light refreshments will be offered.<BR/><BR/>Donations will be accepted to help Trinidad and his family offset the medical bills.<BR/><BR/>Regina, Trinidad's wife, would like to ask your support in two ways:<BR/><BR/>1. Please consider volunteering to attend this event to read one of Trinidad's poems, or one of your own. Due to time constraints, we ask that the poem being read be limited to 3 minutes (maximum!) in length. If you would like to read a poem at this event, please email me by 5 p.m., Sunday, July 30. We only have room for around 8 readers since Gemini Ink will also be getting a group of readers together too. In your email, please let me know the name of the poem you will be reading so that we may avoid duplication.<BR/><BR/>2. If you do not want to read, PLEASE consider attending the event anyway as a show of support to Trinidad and his family. Even if you can't help out with a small monetary donation, just your presence, thoughts and prayers will go a long way in bringing comfort to his family.<BR/><BR/>He is a true giant in the San Antonio poetry scene--he has been an energetic proponent and performer of poetry in the schools for more than 20 years, and has appeared more than 1000 times in schools and poetry venues.<BR/><BR/>3.
