Program: Topic: House of Morrow / Children's Programs
Presented by Linzi Garcia
Presentation Title - "Let's Make a Book: Advocacy through Bookmaking & the Diverse Voices Literacy Program"
Linzi Garcia will walk you through how to make a little book/zine! She will discuss the zine's history and purpose as a personal creative act or a larger community movement. Linzi will also discuss how she uses this activity and other creative writing, reading, and public speaking lessons in her Diverse Voices Literacy Program--a program to enhance literacy skills through creative writing with local fifth-grade students and turn them into published authors! Linzi will offer resources to adopt your own Diverse Voices program! Creative writing is an artform for anyone, and this presentation and activity removes the pressure of making masterpieces and encourages playfulness.
Linzi Garcia is the poetry editor and publicist of Meadowlark Press. Bringing together her Meadowlark role with her role as vice chair of House of Morrow, an arts-based services nonprofit, she serves as the program director for the Diverse Voices Literacy Program. During the program, Linzi and other facilitators teach creative writing, reading, and public speaking to local fifth graders, and, at the end of each school year, Meadowlark publishes an anthology of work by the students. Linzi is the author of two poetry collections, Cravings and Thank You, as well as the co-author of While Away: Travel Poems and Live a Great Story. She is a recipient of a NextGen Under 30 Kansas award.
