Come, listen, and then join in the conversation. that will follow readings by a panel including veteran authors Michelle Kerouac, Derrick Woodford, and Adam Stone from the anthology and So Say We All/KPBS series Incoming and the new video series “Permission to Speak Freely.” Panelists will also include Elizabeth Marro, author of the novel Casualties, and Sue Diaz, author of the memoir Minefields of the Heart. Dean Nelson, founder and director of Point Loma University's journalism program, will moderate.
