PSL Week 3: building community (feat. Tomy Bewick)

Poetry as our Second Language

PSL Week 3: Building Bridges and Fostering Community
Facilitated by Len Cervantes
Featuring special guest, Tomy Bewick

When Len Cervantes first began attending Dwayne Morgan’s Roots Lounge (the monthly series that starts up at Kapisanan again this Sunday), he didn’t know anyone. This was around 2005 when he was only starting to spread his wings outside of the Filipino community, shuffling from one open mic to another around the city. Tomy Bewick was one of the first poets that caught Len’s eye during those days. Even then, he knew this guy would go further–and he was right.

Leonard “Len” Cervantes. A name so commonly pronounced within the walls of Kapisanan, it’s hard to comprehend that he doesn’t even have a personalized fan page on our website. Or shrine.

“Excuuuse me, you don’t know who he is?!” Let me enlighten you with a few essential details.

As an artist, a writer, a poet, a playwright, a performer, a “digital ninja” at MTV and MuchMusic, a multimedia production whiz, a mentor (or as I’d like to call, Kuya Len)–where do I even begin to discuss the spirit of this Kapisanan guru?
