Kick off Pride Month with an intimate poetry reading and discussion on sustaining Queer and Trans Latinx literary communities in Texas.

Gemini Ink, in partnership with Infrarrealista Review and Letras Latinas, proudly presents “Trans Poetica: A Pride Month Literary Plática.” This event highlights three published trans Latine poets: Pushcart Prize-nominated poet Keagan Wheat; SG Huerta, author of Burns (Sundress Publications, 2026); and Stalina Villarreal, Spanish translator and author of Watcha (Deep Vellum, 2024). The 2024-2025 Letras Latinas Poetry Coalition Fellow, Cloud Delfina Cardona, will moderate this reading and conversation. All four authors will read from their books and discuss their craft, publishing, and roles in their literary communities. An audience Q&A will follow their discussion, followed by a book signing.
