El Martillo Press at City Lights

Readings and conversation with Tshaka Campbell, Lorna Dee Cervantes, Paul S. Flores, Margaret Elysia Garcia, and Briana Muñoz, as City Lights celebrates an exceptional indie press. Founded by Matt Sedillo and David A. Romero, El Martillo Press publishes writers whose pens strike the page with clear intent; words with purpose to pry apart assumed norms and to hammer away at injustice.
