We are honored to have Cintia Santana, Jenny Mary Brown, and Daniel Nickerson perform at our inagural event!
Cintia is the author of Forth and Back: Translation, Dirty Realism, and The Spanish Novel (1975-1995) (Bucknell UP, 2013). Her poetry, fiction, and translations have appeared or are forthcoming in Beloit Poetry Journal, Michigan Quarterly Review, The Missouri Review, Narrative, Pleiades, RHINO, Spillway, The Threepenny Review, and other journals. C.D. Wright awarded Santana’s poem, “Qasida of Grief,” the Sycamore Review’s 2013 Wabash Prize. A number of Santana’s poems have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. Most recently her work was nominated for the Best New Poets Anthology (2015). Santana is a Senior Lecturer at Stanford University where she teaches poetry and fiction workshops in Spanish, as well as literary translation courses. At Stanford, she helped develop a translation studies minor for undergraduates and now serves as the minor’s advisor. Santana is the recipient of a Phi Beta Kappa Teaching Award (2014), a CantoMundo Fellowship (2016), a Norton Island Residency (2016), and a Djerassi Resident Artist Program Fellowship (2016). She is currently at work on her first poetry manuscript, The Disordered Alphabet, and a translation manuscript, The Complete Sonnets, Ghazals, and Casidas of Federico García Lorca. Santana received her MFA in Fiction from Sarah Lawrence College, and her MA and PhD in Romance Languages and Literatures from Harvard University.
Jenny’s work has either been featured or is forthcoming in Tipton Poetry Journal, Berkeley Poetry Review, and Sugar House, among others. She is also poetry editor at The Mondegreen. She lives in Arcata, CA, where she reads comics, plays the piano, and teaches at Humboldt State University and College of the Redwoods.
Daniel is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and music director at The Sanctuary. He has performed with numerous groups including Max’s Midnight Kitchen.
Eulachon is a somewhat-quarterly reading series featuring a diverse lineup of local and traveling poets. We created the series because we love readings, and we wanted to provide Arcatans with a regular supply of fantastic new poetry hailing from a variety of literary schools. We also hope that local writers will be inspired to work together on new projects and check out The Sanctuary’s printmaking supplies.
