POETRY: THE MEMORY CAFE “Wisdom of the Dead” featuring Sonia Erika
About this Event
The Memory Cafe Presents “ Wisdom of the Dead” by Sonia Erika. Hosted by our beloved community poet, Kavon Cortez Jones: Come for a writing session, test your words out on the open mic, and stay for the " Wisdom of the Dead" by Sonia Erika.
What is the Wisdom of the Dead and how can you tap into it?
Sonia Erika is the daughter of formerly undocumented laborers who lost their parents before they gained the ability to visit them once more in Mexico. Without her grandparents to connect ancient wisdom to the present, Sonia felt lost: "At times it can feel like history is lost because our loved ones are no longer here, but if you listen closely, you can hear them giving you poems that can become songs." - Sonia Erika
Sonia will walk you through some of the earliest pieces of her work that came to life even before Death Is A Business. "I will share bold pieces that were inspired by my bittersweet time at Harvard University like "White Picket Fences" and "Kitty Cat."
Hope to see you all there.
