Wednesday, April 9th 6pm Latino Poetry Discussion
Join us as we discuss three poems related to the theme “Voice and Resistance.” Books are available to check out at the library. If you do not have a library card, and wish to read the poems, complete this form, and we will email them to you.
The Center for the Book, in collaboration with New Hampshire Humanities and UNH, and thanks to a grant from the Library of America invites you to join us in a celebration of Latino Poetry here in the Granite state. Our celebration will center around Latino Poetry: The Library of America Anthology, edited by Rigoberto González, 2024. In early 2025 public libraries around the state will be hosting Variations on a Theme: Local Conversations about Latino Poetry events. Each of these conversations will focus on a particular theme and will center on the poems in Latino Poetry: the Library of America Anthology. Sets of Latino Poetry will be loaned to each library for use in their program thanks to the support of New Hampshire Humanities and Gibson's Bookstore. Links to each of the hosting libraries and a full schedule of events is at https://www.nhsl.dncr.nh.gov/latino-poetry.
Latino Poetry: Places We Call Home is a major public humanities initiative, planned for 2024–25, that celebrates and explores the multifaceted legacy of Latino poetry. It is directed by Library of America and funded with generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
