Guamanian poet Craig Santos Perez will be reading his work this Wednesday at the Mercury Bar. Tinfish Press, headed by University of Hawaii at Manoa professor Susan Schultz, coordinated his Honolulu appearance as part of the UHM English department's M.I.A. Art & Literary Series monthly event. "We teach his poetry here at UH Manoa, this would be a great opportunity for students to meet the actual poet who wrote the poems they read in class," said Schultz.
Schultz gave LR the opportunity to "peek" into her class, where Perez surprised her students and read some of his comedic essays. Stay tuned for a Q&A session with the established poet. Till then, check him out at the Mercury Bar this Wednesday, May 12th at 7:30 p.m.
