| Tim Z. Hernandez | ARTIST BIO Tim Z. Hernandez is a writer/ performer who has worked in and around California’s San Joaquin Valley for nearly a decade. His written works and performances have been featured in several publications, as well as, prestigious venues across the South Western United States. His extensive background in theater and performance art has led to past commissions by major groups such as the United Way of Greater Los Angeles and the National Fanny Mae Foundation, to write, produce, and perform his original plays on issues of homelessness and poverty. He is the recipient of the James Duval Phelan Award for best manuscript by an emerging writer and in 2003 received a Best Solo Production Award for his one-man show, Diaries of Macho, on which his first book of poems, Skin Tax (Heyday Books), is loosely based. The book went on to receive critical acclaim from top literary figures such as Ray Gonzalez of the Bloomsbury Review who wrote, “One of the finest and most exciting poets from the younger generation of latino writers!”
