The California State Flag was raised at Sonoma on June 14, 1846 by settlers rebelling against Mexican rule. The Spanish colony, California, didn't became a state until 1850. The state flag was designed by William Todd. |

Sam Pereira was born in Los Banos, CA. He has a BA from California State University, Fresno and an MFA from the Writers' Workshop at the University of Iowa. While always a poet first, he currently works in the California education system. He also writes a regular newspaper column of ideas ranging from the provacative to the silly. Some of these columns, along with some of Mr. Pereira's RealAudio readings can be found at:Sam's readings. | |||

"Passion is the trait that most marks the varied careers of Lawrence Clark Powell. Not blind passion, of course, but as innovative librarian, as educator, as scholar, as critic, and as novelist, he has proceeded with an ardor that stands out: this son of the Southwest cares. Little is merely perfunctory or abstract in Powell's work." Powell has published so many books that I have only included some works published since 1982. At some time in the future, I may add the rest. | |||
