Through involvment with gangs during his youth and
the burden of growing up with an alcoholic and abusive father, poetry
has always been a source of peace for Bryan Medina

Poet Bryan Medina sits with his back pressed against a wall. He
holds a piece of paper that’s ready to be read and smiles as
his co-host steps to the microphone. He bursts into pure laughter

pleasure,” and the full crowd at the CoffeeHouse & Pub
laughs along.More>> |
 A
fixture on the Fresno poetry scene, and a regular at the monthly
poetry jams on campus, Bryan Medina is a person who has used the
adversities in his life as fuel for his writing.
