The People’s Poetry, 2015–2017 collects the poems crafted by poet, and founder of DSTL Arts, Luis Antonio Pichardo, over the course of September, 2015–September, 2017, written while attending small art & literary events throughout Southern California & Tijuana.
Using the answers that event attendees provided to random questions written on index cards, Luis wrote the poems in 15 minutes or less, including the typing of them on a 1960s-era Smith-Corona Classic 12 typewriter.
Each one of these poems is dedicated to someone of importance for the individual who commissioned the poems. For $5, these individuals received a personalized poem, & their purchase supported the mentorship of at-risk youth & adults in DSTL Arts’ Arts Mentorship Program, a nonprofit program dedicated to nur turing emerging artists who would otherwise not have educational or career opportunities in the arts.
Now, with your purchase of this book, you will continue to provide value to the poetry contained within these pages, and also added value to the poetry within our lives.
All proceeds from the sale of this book will benefi t DSTL Arts, a nonprofi t arts mentorship organization that inspires, teaches, & hires emerging artists from underserved communities. Learn more about DSTL Arts today at DSTLArts.org.
This publication is produced in partnership by DSTL Arts and Smiley Faze Productions.
