SUMMARY:Literary Rock & Roll: a life tribute to David Hernandez
DESCRIPTION:David Hernandez in rehearsal. (Photo by Tanya Tucka)\nThe Guild Literary Complex and Columbia College Creative Writing Department are pleased to celebrate the life of David Hernandez in this one-of-a-kind event in conjunction with Story Week 2014: \n“Street Sounds take music\, lyrics and song a stimulating step further.” – Chicago Sun Times \nChicago’s “unofficial Poet Laureate\,” David Hernandez (1946-2013) impressed audiences everywhere with his singular poetic style. Centering his work on the rhythms of urban life\, Hernandez captured universal themes inside a humorous and resonating voice. As the first Puerto Rican poet to be published in Chicago\, Hernandez was a significant member of the region’s literary\, artistic and cultural community through his role as a poet\, educator\, administrator\, events organizer\, and performer. \nA founding member of the Latino Arts Movement\, he received the Puerto Rican Cultural Heritage Award 2002. Hernandez maintained his position as master artist through his commitments as a board member\, editor\, panelist\, and teacher. Born in Puerto Rico\, Hernandez grew up in Chicago\, published seven collections of poetry and edited others\, was a visiting professor at DePaul University\, and read poetry for the inauguration of Mayor Harold Washington\, among other career highlights. Most recently\, he was Poet-in-Residence at the A.N. Pritzker School in Wicker Park. \nIn 1971\, Hernandez and guitarist Dean Karabatsos co-founded Street Sounds\, an award-winning performance ensemble of music\, songs and poems. The group uses original music and lyrics with Latin Jazz\, Blues\, Contemporary Jazz\, Afro-Caribbean\, Folk\, Classical and Cover tune elements. Playing with the band during Literary Rock & Roll will be a wealth of Chicago-based musicians. Original poems by David Hernandez will be performed by Eduardo Arocho\, Marta Collazo\, Carlos Cumpián. \nOur Partners\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThank You to Our Funder\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
