Lorenz Mazon Dumuk

  Spoken Word • First Time Art Party Participant

Lorenz Mazon Dumuk has two collections of poetry, Ay Nako: Writing Through the Struggle, and I Think In Poetry. He is a VONA alumni, and a MALI (Multicultural Arts Leadership Institute) alumni, which is a Silicon Valley based program that focuses on developing leaders of color in the arts, culture, and entertainment sectors.  He is one of the curators for, Glowing with the Moon, an open mic and interactive community space in San Jose.  Lorenz writes with, against, and through the contradictions he encounters, which allows him to explore the different silences in his life through his poetry.  An awkwardly adorable poet who can be caught doing hip-circles before a poetry reading.
