Emmanuel Martinez a Featured Reader at Luna's Cafe Poetry Open Mic Night
Students from the Visions' Friday writing workshop, Finding Your Voice, were invited this week to read poetry at the Luna's Cafe Thursday Open Mic Night. 916 Ink, the literacy non-profit organization that co-leads our Friday workshop series was the "featured poet" of the evening. Six Sacramento students who are published or in the process of being published by 916 Ink read their poems for a very receptive audience. Our student, Emmanuel Martinez, rocked the house with his poem, "I Got."
Other Visions' writers and workshop volunteers showed up to support Emmanuel and listen to the poetry of local youth writers.

This was Emmanuel's first poetry reading. We don't think it will be his last.
