First, thousands of Kaiser health workers across California and Hawaii walked off the job this week. Then, we bring you details around affordable housing for staff at the San Diego Unified School District. Also, we bring you to Camp Pendleton where Marines are learning to be drone pilots. Plus, a solar farm project currently under construction in Jacumba has brought some health concerns along with it.

Teachers and students say the Grossmont Union High School District board’s recent decisions to eliminate school librarian positions limit students’ access to libraries and further exacerbate concerns of censorship.

Once you purchase a ticket, you’ll receive a private streaming link and password so you can settle in, press play, and experience the show from home. "Dead Moose" tells the story of Job, an eighteen-year-old who miraculously survives a car accident with a moose. Returning home from the hospital, he begins to reassess his life in a series of non-linear vignettes — grappling with questions of death, fate, and religion. All the while, the nagging voice of the dead moose lingers in his head, pushing and provoking him at every turn. Originally conceived by writer/composer Tafolla while attending AMDA Los Angeles, "Dead Moose" first introduced audiences to its songs in 2018 at Republic of Pie in Los Angeles. A concert reading was later staged in January 2025 at the City Heights Performance Annex in San Diego, directed by Tafolla and produced by Kevin “Blax” Burroughs. Content Disclaimer: "Dead Moose" is not recommended for audiences under the age of 14. Content includes themes of suicide, abuse, death, religious trauma, body shaming, homophobia and racism.

What happens when memory becomes myth? When lived experience takes on the weight of story, symbol, and inheritance? In this generative poetry workshop, we’ll explore how poets transform personal memory into mythic material, using archetype, repetition, fragmentation, and lyric pressure to move beyond confession and into resonance. We’ll look at how memory shifts when it’s told and retold, how the self becomes a figure, and how silence, distortion, and exaggeration can deepen emotional truth rather than obscure it. Through close readings of contemporary poets and guided writing exercises, we’ll examine how myth operates not as fantasy, but as structure, shaping identity, grief, lineage, and belonging. The session includes close reading, craft discussion, and generative prompts. By the end of this session, participants will analyze how poets use mythic frameworks to elevate personal material, explore memory as narrative, distortion, and inheritance, generate new poems that work with archetype, symbol, and recurrence, experiment with techniques such as invocation, echo, and ritual language, and revise poems to move from anecdote toward resonance and emotional depth.
