Join us for an exploration of Latino poetry! This discussion and reading of selected poems from "Latino Poetry: The Library of America Anthology" edited by Rigoberto González, will be led by Dr. Ilan Stavans. The reading and discussion will also include poems from his book "Lamentations of Nezahualcóyotl", retold from the Nahuatl by Ilan Stavans, just published by program partner Restless Books.

The Jones Library is honored to partner with independent publisher Restless Books for this event.

This program is presented as part of Latino Poetry: Places We Call Home, a major public humanities initiative taking place across the nation in 2024 and 2025, directed by Library of America and funded with generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and Emerson Collective.
