Carmen V. is (I am) a Los Angeles-based performance poet. I have presented Poetic Interludes at the Southwest Museum, the Armand Hammer Museum, Barnsdall Art Park, and many other venues. I present solo and have also worked with musicians such as Big Black and Danny I's Shango Rhythm Esteem Ensemble, and others. My endeavor to merge my poems with Barnacle's rock-n-roll sound resulted in CARMEN VEGA: LA POETA CON ROCK, a 15 song CD is now available on CD BABY.com and iTunes. You can Now purchase the Mp3's CARMEN VEGA: La Poeta con Rock http://cdbaby.com/cd/carmenvega

In Theater, my solo Spanish Ballads by the Sink was nominated Best Production by the NOHO Valley Theatre League. But poetry is my passion and my poems can be found in various publications and anthologies including the Austin International Poetry Festival 2001 Anthology, the Southern Anthology, and the Onyx Spoken Word anthology. My bilingual book titled REFLECTIONS FROM THE WELL; is available now. For info, email me through Myspace or directly: [email protected]. Thanks for stopping by! CIAO
