Tucson poet Logan Phillips will read from “Sonoran Strange,” his debut full-length poetry collection, which explores the deep contradictions of the landscape and culture of his homeland.
Arizona Poet Laureate Alberto Ríos will make a special appearance with a reading of his award-winning work.
*Languages: English and Spanish
Presented by: Arizona Commission on the Arts and Performance in the Borderlands.
Logan Phillips is an Arizona Commission on the Arts Artist Project Grant Recipient. (2012)
Southwest Folklife Alliance’s Master-Apprentice Grant Award is designed to support the teaching/learning relationship between traditional artists and their apprentices. The goal of this award is to strengthen the transmission of community-based traditions throughout the Southwestern United States. The award supports a master artist or tradition bearer who has identified a qualified apprentice (or group of apprentices), to engage in a relationship that includes intensive learning, one-on-one mentorship and hands-on experience in his/her traditional artistic practice.
Learn more about the Master-Apprentice Grant and the application process during this information session presented by Maribel Alvarez and Leah Maahs of Southwest Folklife Alliance and hosted by the Arizona Commission on the Arts.
