 "I wanted to hear what someone else in Generation Z had to say about how it feels to go to bed every night and wake up to a world of metal, concrete, and screens." Michaela Pecot
 At the beginning of the month, I went to the J.C.C.S.F. to see Juan Felipe Herrera. He read a number of poems and spoke about his experiences growing up being a campesino in southern california and journey as a poet. He described traveling up and down California and through many other states to speak up about injustices against minorities and workers and also just to share his personal voice. My favorite thing he said was I think from one of his poems, “Find a place to save your life”. This line to me perfectly describes his style because he blends and breaks so many barriers in form and in just basic life concepts. In that line he connects location, safety, and suicide all in one sentence. " -Pablo Gomez
