In celebration of National Poetry Month, join us for an inspiring afternoon featuring ire’ne lara silva, 2023 Texas State Poet Laureate, Eddie Vega, San Antonio Poet Laureate, and Saúl Hernández, a 2025 National Endowment for the Arts Fellow, who will share their powerful, moving work during a poetry reading, panel discussion, and Q&A centered on themes inspired by the recently published Latino Poetry: The Library of America Anthology. This special event, in partnership with Library of America and with support from Humanities Texas, promises to be a captivating exploration of culture and artistic expression.

This event program, sponsored by SAC Mexican American Studies, 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.
