Event Details
Please join us Monday, March 2nd for One Book Yuma, a community event organized by the Yuma County Library District and the AWC/NAU-Yuma Academic Library. This event highlights Arizona authors and allows us to hear their stories and learn about their experiences.
This year, we are highlighting two of our very own AWC faculty:
Sugar le Fae: Activist, educator, and prize-winning poet, Sugar le Fae (PhD) has taught English Composition, Creative Writing, and Literature for over 20 years; served as a Poetry Editor of Five Points (2020), PRISM international (2013), and other literary journals; and published widely, including two poetry collections, The Mustard Seed (April Gloaming Press, 2023) and Broken Lines (Rebel Satori Press, 2024).
Arturo Magaña Amaya: Arturo grew up on the U.S.- México border. He earned his BA and BS at Arizona State University and his MA at Northern Arizona University. While at NAU, he conducted anthropology research with fishing communities struggling for fishing rights in México. More recently, he worked in human rights with people who lost loved ones crossing the border. Nostalgias of November is his first collection of poems. Mimbres Press presents his book in a bilingual format.
Other community poets will also present their works at the event alongside these two poets.
The event will take place from 2:00pm to 4:00pm in the MAC classroom number 106.
More details to follow as we get closer to the event!
