January Trenches Full of Poets: In-Store Readings by Four SoCal Poets

Join us 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝟵𝘁𝗵 at 𝟳:𝟬𝟬𝗽𝗺 for the inaugural 2025 installment of the 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗼𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀! We're diving into the new year with featured readings from four Southern California poets, 𝗝𝘂𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗻, 𝗝𝘂𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗿, 𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗽𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗱𝗼 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗱𝗮, and 𝗠𝗮𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼, followed by an open mic opportunity!
𝗝𝘂𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗻 is a poeta Mexicano, writing out of Inglewood CA and on IG @jack_the_sipper.
𝗝𝘂𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗿 is a writer and performer from South Central Los Angeles. He released his first poetry book, 𝘗𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘺 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘶𝘮𝘢, with Riot of Roses Publishing House. His poems have been included in the literary journal 𝘔𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘢 𝘔𝘢𝘨 and anthologies from Beyond The Veil Press, Golden Foothill Press, and Poetic Underground LLC Press. He can be found on IG @thee_amador.
𝗚𝘂𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗽𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗴𝗮𝗱𝗼 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗱𝗮 loves reading poetry and sauntering. She has received support from Voices of Our Nations Arts Foundation (VONA) and is currently pursuing her MFA in Creative Writing at California State University, Fresno. She can be found on IG @salgadopartida.
𝗠𝗮𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼 has released rap albums, gotten Drew Barrymore high, drag raced Michelle Rodriguez, and had his finger bitten off in the first season of HBO’s Westworld, but won’t admit any of that in real life. Striving to be better and suspiciously bored in the middle of his 5th or 6th SAG AFTRA strike, and cynically against the performative or cliche, he can be found either at The Offbeat or Cuevita when he’s not eating bugs on the L.A. River bike path, or inhaling the vape pens, losing at dominoes 25 miles somewhere from his house.
𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗼𝗲𝘁𝘀 is a monthly poetry series created, curated, and hosted by Los Angeles-based poets and editors, 𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗶 𝗚𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮 and 𝗠𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗼 with the goal of supporting a diverse array of published SoCal authors and the local independent bookstores that carry their works.
The event takes place on the second Thursday of every month and is always free and open to the public, no tickets or reservations required
