About Occupy Whiteness. . .Occupy Whiteness is a collection of hybrid erasure poems from inaugural Dallas Poet Laureate and multi-world slam competition winner Joaquín Zihuatanejo. Starting from long-form works of literature by straight, white men, Joaquín Zihuatanejo occupies their pages, erasing words and sections, leaving only his poetry behind -- the white space that remains becoming colonized Brown verse. Occupy Whiteness is an act of rebellion that reclaims spaces and highlights a history of erasure of Brown life. An unflinching look at the present day, the collection is haunted and blessed by the image of ancestors who braved the river and desert to travel into border states for the opportunity of freedom. These are poems meant to agitate and create unease, to make the reader realize that neither their author nor the immigrant children he describes are Other. Through poems and interspersed photography from the border, Zihuatanejo poignantly depicts this equally beautiful and brutal place we call home. Joaquín Zihuatanejo is the proud descendant of migrant field workers. Joaquín was the Inaugural Poet Laureate for the city of Dallas and was presented with a Laureate Fellowship Prize of $50,000 by the Academy of American Poets in honor of the outstanding work he has done in his city working with youth poets. The second sentence of this bio is not greater than the first. The second sentence would not be possible without the first. Joaquín is a two-time World Poetry Slam Champion. His readings and performances have been called by critics,  a display of verbal fireworks that leave audiences breathless and on the edge of their seats.  He received his MFA from the Institute of American Indian Arts where he studied under master American poets Natalie Diaz, Sherwin Bitsui, and Joan Naviyuk Kane. among others. His collection, Arsonist, won the Anhinga-Robert Dana Prize for Poetry as selected by Eduardo C. Corral. Joaquín's work has been published by Southwestern American Literature, Huizache, Poetry in Motion, Poets.org and many other literary journals and websites. His work has been featured on NBC, HBO, and NPR in Historias and The National Teachers' Initiative. Joaquín has two passions in his life, his partner Aída and poetry, always in that order.

從貝爾維尤步行就可以到達西雅圖520大橋，如圖一，這裏還是個很漂亮的公園和停車場，喜歡步行走過大橋就到達西雅圖了，喜歡乘坐公交車也可以，車站就在停車場的下邊，很多車次，而且等車時間都不長，特別方便。

驚人的海鮮和有趣的氛圍當然!讓我想起了舊金山;最好的部分是看街頭藝人!我遇到了一位女士,她向莫特利克魯博士演奏鼓,感覺很好,太棒了!我有牡射擊者與4個海鮮販子,同時購買美味的薰魚。走下條帶,我遇到了一個賣熱巧克力片餅乾的地方,上面有片狀海鹽。好吃!最後,有一個土耳其經營的商店,那個女人給了我很好的禮物建議,並吃了我吃過的最好的 Baklava 。
