Poetry lovers, celebrate! URBAN-15 announces the 2025 Mega Corazón Poetry Festival will premiere on Wednesday, April 16th at 8pm! Join us at our livestream page, urban15.org/live-stream, for this powerful marathon of words by 17 of San Antonio’s most renowned poets. The stream will run continuously on a 24/7 loop through the end of National Poetry Month, and audiences will have a chance to vote for their favorite poet online at urban15.org. This vote will determine the winner of Mega Corazón, who will be awarded the $500 "Gregg Barrios Precious Words Prize".

URBAN-15 challenged the participating poets this year to produce impactful work that will resonate with audiences during these times of uncertainty. The poets all answered this call and provided some of the finest readings in Megan Corazón's history. This work will include readings from past and present San Antonio Poets Laureate, including Carmen Tafolla, Octavio Quintanilla, Andrea “Vocab’ Sanderson, Eddie Vega, and a wide array of talented voices.

Mega Corazón presents an incredible opportunity for audiences around the globe to celebrate National Poetry Month with some of Texas' premiere poets. Join us and cast your vote for the “Gregg Barrios Precious Words Prize” at urban15.org.
