REDLANDS >> Craig Santos Perez ’02 will return to campus March 10 for a poetry reading for students, faculty and the general public. A recent winner of the American Book Award 2015 for his book of poetry, “from unincorporated territory: guma’,” Santos Perez is a native Chamoru from Guam who grew up in California and earned his undergraduate degree at Redlands’ Johnston Center for Integrative Studies. Santos Perez finished his doctoral degree at University of California, Berkeley and is the co-founder of Ala Press, co-star of the amplified poetry audio book, “Undercurrent” (2011) and author of three books of poetry. Redlands English Professor Daniel Kiefer describes Santos Perez’s most recent book of poetry as “a wonderful mixture of anti-colonial polemic, official documentation of the U.S. militarization of Guam, family reminiscence, and sweet sonorous lyric, in both English and Chamoru.” Currently an associate professor in the English department at the University of Hawaii, Mānoa, Santos Perez teaches creative writing and Pacific literature. He also teaches in the Center of Pacific Islands Studies and the Indigenous Politics Program and co-curates the Native Voices Reading and Lecture Series, as well as the Chamorro Studies Speaker Series, and the New Oceania Literary Series.
