I first heard Sonya Sanchez when she came to Birmingham several years ago when the Public Library was having an event celebrating Alabama authors. She read some of her poems and I was engulfed in one of those rare moments when the spoken word transports an entire audience.
Sonya Sanchez, author, poet, and playwright, was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and went on to teach in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1965. She was a pioneer in the development of Black Studies at San Francisco State University.
