Collaboration

Locks Festival

The Sacramento Poetry Center has collaborated on past projects and will maintain its tradition of collaboration with individuals and groups in the future. SPC has been an umbrella organization for projects such as En Lak Esh and Landing Signals (book and cassette). SPC has also provided space and insurance for collaborations with other non-profit groups and for benefits and fundraisers.

In 2004, SPC worked with the Jamaican Student Echange Program (JSEP) in Sacramento and coordinated the space and provided the insurance needs to hold the Locks Festival in May. Part of the festival organization and publicity was taken on by Staajabu and V.S. Chocezi who are both members of SPC. The Sacramento Poetry Center was happy to work with our members and the JSEP to provide an opportunity for the community to share their experiences and come together for such a good cause.

Flor y Canto

In April 2004, SPC had the opportunity to share in the experience at the Flor y Canto Festival. SPC had a booth set up where poets could display literature for upcoming readings, record their voices for the Flor y Canto CD, find out more about the Poetry Center and join as a member.
