“Because
We Come from Everything: Poetry & Migration” is the first public offering
of the newly formed Poetry Coalition—twenty-two organizations dedicated to
working together to promote the value poets bring to our culture and
communities, as well as the important contributions poetry makes in the lives
of people of all ages and backgrounds.
During
the month of March, coalition members CantoMundo and Letras Latinas are
partnering to present guest posts by CM fellows at Letras Latinas Blog that will include essays, creative non-fiction,
micro reviews and dialogues between writers. This year’s theme borrows a line
from U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera’s poem, “Borderbus.” Please return
to this space and enjoy all the pieces in the series, and leave comments to
participate in the dialogue.
