This panel explores how “Latino Poetry: the Library of America Anthology” comprises a groundbreaking anthology celebrating the poetic traditions of Latin America. Hybrid. Registration requested.
The library launches its programming for the “Latino Poetry: Places We Call Home” national public humanities initiative with this panel discussion devoted to the newly published anthology.
Moderated by Vivia Font, the panel includes Rigoberto González, editor of the anthology and principal humanities advisor for the “Places We Call Home” project; Vincent Toro, humanities advisor for the “Places We Call Home” project; and Newark-based poet and multidisciplinary artist Dimitri Reyes.
The panel will be livestreamed via YouTube, and virtual attendees may place questions in advance through registration. Registration is requested, but not required for in-person attendance.
This panel discussion precedes a series of four discussions this fall hosted by the library and facilitated by Enriqueta Carrington and Carlos Hernández Peña. Each discussion focuses on two themes arising from poetry featured in the anthology.
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.
