Lyric and Liberation: Poetry for Palestine

The Hill Street Country Club is proud to stand in solidarity with artists for humanity and liberation. We are committed to reimagining a world where families are safe from the impacts of greed and war. It is with this vision that we invite you to our new monthly poetry gathering, Lyric and Liberation. The first installment of this event will feature readings, an open mic, and a space to unite voices in solidarity with Palestine.

We are honored to have Jason Magabo Perez and Karla Cordero co-hosting. Perez is an associate professor and director of ethnic studies at California State University San Marcos and is currently serving as the Poet Laureate of San Diego. Cordero is a Chicana poet, educator, author, and executive director of Glassless Minds, a 501 (c)(3) corporation that facilitates and fosters constructive emotional outlets and personal expression in an accepting and safe space for teenagers and young adults.

The event will be held in person and broadcast on Instagram Live, ensuring that our message of peace and unity reaches as many hearts as possible. Your presence and participation will enrich the conversation and strengthen our community. If you have poems you’d like to read, please bring them.

When: Jan. 11, 2024 from 7 p.m. - 10 p.m.

In Person: 530 S. Coast Hwy, Oceanside, Calif. 92054

We look forward to seeing you there and sharing in the transformative power of poetry. Look for future Lyric and Liberation poetry events on the second Thursday of the month. We hope this new year brings collective peace, liberation, healing and above all, a ceasefire - Free Palestine.
