HINCHAS PRESS @ 2016 LOS ANGELES LITCRAWL IN NOHO

Hinchas Press was super honored this year to be a part of the 2016 Los Angeles LitCrawl. LitCrawl is a smorgasboard of readings that transpire in one night in North Hollywood. Hinchas presented a program called "Pushing Past Neruda," which challenged the readers to engage with a piece of Latin American Poetry. The focus of Hinchas de Poesia is certainly not Latin American Poetry, but the continent figures prominently in our aesthetic cache.

Regardless, Annette Cruz, Sara Borjas, Ryan Nance, William A Gonzalez, and Mike Sonksen all agreed to read and showed up to read in the Snyder Breezeway. I had never organized a reading in a breezeway, so you can imagine when I showed up and it was a simple callejon with bamboo accents. We did receive a battery operated amp and a mic which did enhance the experience of the reading quite a bit. I do think that LitCrawl Los Angeles, given their budget, did a stellar job of organizing the readings.

I can't thank the readers enough for bringing it on a Wednesday night to North Hollywood and for engaging with the city in a way few people know how to enjoy. Hinchas Press was super honored to be able to organize this on behalf of the amazing readers and their superior efforts.
