Join Kearny Street Workshop and the Manilatown Heritage Foundation for a 4-part writing workshop exploring the sacred places where our sense of community blossoms and grows. Guided by Tony Robles, poet and author of “Lakas and the Manilatown Fish”, participants will write about their sense of home, sense of self, and sense of place. We will draw inspiration from the works of Asian Pacific American literary elders such as Jeff Tagami, Shirley Ancheta, Al Robles, and others who explore the heart of Manilatown, the heart in exile, and what it means to come home.
