What is the Wisdom of the Dead and how can you tap into it? Sonia Erika is the daughter of formerly undocumented laborers who lost their parents before they gained the ability to visit them once more in Mexico. Without her grandparents to connect ancient wisdom to the present, Sonia felt lost: "At times it can feel like history is lost because our loved ones are no longer here, but if you listen closely, you can hear them giving you poems that can become songs." - Sonia ErikaSonia will walk you through some of the earliest pieces of her work that came to life even before Death Is A Business. "I will share bold pieces that were inspired by my bittersweet time at Harvard University like "White Picket Fences" and "Kitty Cat."Hope to see you all there. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/f8d6a0d0-8b86-11f1-b92e-41b584fdb3c9-rimg-w555-h740-dc5d7a47-gmir.jpg Agenda?: 06:00 PM - 07:00 PMWriting SessionHost: Kavon Cortez Jones?: 07:30 PM - 08:55 PMOpen Mic?: 09:00 PM - 09:30 PMFeatured Artist: Wisdom of the DeadHost: Sonia Erika - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/milwaukee/poetry-the-memory-cafe-wisdom-of-the-dead-featuring-sonia-erika/100001994720587975 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-07-31T22:45:00Z - Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes - Location: Jazz Gallery Center of the Arts - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 7.6, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Milwaukee - **state**: WI - **country**: United States - **location**: Jazz Gallery Center of the Arts - **lat**: 43.0676437 - **long**: -87.8994762 - **full address**: Jazz Gallery Center of the Arts, 926 East Center Street, Milwaukee, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: POETRY: THE MEMORY CAFE “Wisdom of the Dead” featuring Sonia Erika - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/d562babe641519fb255fbcb839b22ee0886a0899c4c92a8d0f9037871796f16b-rimg-w1200-h600-dc03708f-gmir.jpg?v=1784733424 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is POETRY: THE MEMORY CAFE Wisdom of the Dead featuring Sonia Erika being held? - **A:** POETRY: THE MEMORY CAFE Wisdom of the Dead featuring Sonia Erika takes place on Fri, 31 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 31 Jul, 2026 at 09:30 pm at Jazz Gallery Center of the Arts, 926 East Center Street, Milwaukee, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing POETRY: THE MEMORY CAFE Wisdom of the Dead featuring Sonia Erika? - **A:** POETRY: THE MEMORY CAFE Wisdom of the Dead featuring Sonia Erika is organized by Eat Me Collective. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
