In recent professional e-correspondence, I was referring to
the roster of events below as a “season.” That’s a mistake. It sounds nice, but
it’s inaccurate. A “season” suggests a cohesive, coherent thought-out whole. Rather,
what’s presented here is what it’s called: “Letras Latinas Presents” events are—and this I never tire of
underscoring—one-off partnerships with literary allies around the country—
with the exception of “Latino/a Poetry Now” which is a multi-year “season” of sorts, as well as a partnership. So…a “Letras
Latinas Presents” event is likely part of another
organization’s season such as, for
example, the O.B. Hardison Poetry Series at the Folger Shakespeare Library in
Washington, D.C. In any event, we’re
grateful for these opportunities and collaborations. Enough said. Without
further delay:
