Imagine, a
Q Space reading event on College at Borden on Friday evening, hearing a
Neruda love poem and staring at the niveous, foam-crested
waves crashing
over the obsidian rocks at Isla
Negra… where we go every year with
Los
Parronales workshop participants, to tour of one of the three
treasure-filled homes of Chilean, Nobel prize-winning poet, Pablo Neruda.
Always
a satiating and enthralling experience.
Join us! The trip to Isla Negra is scheduled for
Wednesday, January 16th, 2013
