Latino/a Poetry Now @ ND: a photo gallery

What follows is a modest photo gallery of some aspects of Latino/a Poetry Now @ ND. Missing are images of a reception/dinner held in the home of Notre Dame professors Marisel Moreno and Tom Anderson on Tuesday night; the three classroom visits that took place on Tuesday and Wednesday; the Momotombo Press Oral History Conversation between Francisco Aragón and Maria Melendez; and pictures of John Murillo, who was recently initiated into the Lucumi priesthood (as a priest of Obatala) and so could not have his picture taken, but whose vibrant presence we all enjoyed throughout our time together.
This poster was designed by the communications team at ND's
College of Arts and Letters. We asked that it include a nod to
the previous four stops of Latino/a Poetry Now,
which you'll notice on the left

view of the newly refurbished Morris Inn, where we met daily
