A poetry reading with Orlando Ricardo Menes




Orlando Ricardo Menes, a professor of English here at the University of Notre Dame, read selections from his latest collection, Memoria, on September 18th, 2019. 

In Memoria, he offers "coming of age poems that probe masculinity, Cuban-American culture, displacement, relationships, food, and faith. Many poems explore the Hispanic speaker’s memories of how music in the 1970s, including the songs of Lou Reed and Alice Cooper, became anthems for personal change." (LSU Press)
