In 2019, he was elected Vice President of the California State Poetry Society, and he was the recipient of the Joe Hill Award for labor poetry in 2022.Stan Oropesa: Born and raised in Miami, I discovered a very different world in Los Angeles thanks to my father's job reassignment. I later studied English, classics, and philosophy at U C Santa Barbara, ignoring my accordion and resting my fingers for 8 years. A discovery of Glenn Gould playing Bach nudged me back to my instrument and inspired me to transcribe the Baroque masters and a few others onto the one thing I share with Donald Trump...a little organ. According to my teacher, I have also composed far too many pieces of my own. Somebody has to do this!About Beyond Baroque is one of the United States' leading independent Literary | Arts Centers and public spaces dedicated to expanding the public's knowledge of poetry, literature and art through cultural events and community interaction.
