This is a safe space for people of color, and for LGBTQ folks.
Come by to share in a community space, and hear Loyce share some amazing words, and to share some words yourself. As always, there will be cafe y pan dulce, and good vibes. If you have any questions, let me know here or send me a DM.
Café Libro: RSA boasts the longest running literary venue in the city of Austin. Continuing the multi-decade tradition of open-mike series such as the Eastside/Southside Poetic Action and Canto Libre, Café Libro provides a forum for emerging and established proponents of spoken word. These readings feature talented writers ranging in ages from 9 to 80. Café Libro offers local writers/artists an opportunity to build self-confidence and performance skills by presenting their work to the communities of Austin.
This project is supported in part by the Cultural Arts Division of the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
