PAPA'S GOT A BRAND NEW BAG written & performed by Doug Knott: Doug is an old-school spoken word poet from the 1980s punk scene of Los Angeles, where he still feels at home. I am honored and thrilled to have him spinning his poetic yarns in my class.
BODY LOVE TRAIN written & performed by Sierra Hoskinds: One of my daughter’s oldest friends in the whole world, I’ve been lucky enough to know the brilliant, community minded, loyal to the bone Sierra since she was 12 years old.
