Mega Corazón will be formatted as a playlist of individual poems in an extended 24-hour loop, featuring 19 poets and over 100 poems. URBAN-15 anticipates a global viewership of over 2,000 individuals around the globe, helping to propel Mega Corazón’s mission to provide free and easy access to local poetic voices for poetry lovers worldwide.

Amalia Ortiz, Andrea “Vocab” Sanderson, Anthony “The Poet” Flores, Carmen Tafolla, Don Mathis, Eddie Vega, Eduardo Garza, Frances Treviño Santos, Jennifer Yañez-Alaniz, Jessica Tilton “Tiltonica”, Jim LaVilla-Havelin, John Phillip Santos, Johnny Rivers “Space Dragon”, Marisol Cortez, Naomi Shihab Nye, Natalia Treviño, Octavio Quintanilla, Rohn Bayes, Tomas Roque
