TLF Presents:
Lee Herrick, CA Poet Laureate
A wonderful evening with
California Poet Laureate Lee Herrick
We recently had the privilege of hosting an evening at Arvida Book Co. with California Poet Laureate Lee Herrick. This special event featured live readings, an interactive Q&A session, and a book signing, all presented in partnership with the Multiracial Americans of Southern California (MASC). The night was further enhanced by performances from students of the Orange County School of the Arts (OCSA)
Lee Herrick proved to be a captivating speaker, generously sharing insights into his life with warmth and humor. His openness and engaging dialogue made the evening truly memorable, leaving us all inspired and connected through the power of his words
