Latino/a Poetry Now: 2011 - 2013: the homestretch

In my recent welcome remarks at The Poetry Center in Tucson, I took a little extra time to mention the specific places Latino/a Poetry Now has landed, along with naming who our local hosts were. Our event at the University of Arizona was being video recorded and so I wanted to make sure that this information was documented. With this in mind, here is Letras Latinas Blog's look back, as we enter the homestretch.....
