Location: Brooklyn Public Library, Central Library

10 Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn, NY 11238

The Clemente and Brooklyn Public Library, in partnership with the Library of America, are proud to present a series of three events this fall celebrating the NYC launch of Latino Poetry: The Library of America Anthology, edited by celebrated poet Rigoberto González. The series will engage new audiences through music, poetry, and performances. 

This series debuts the first thematic track for Historias Sembradas, Everyday Poetics: Ritual and Resistance, which explores the role Latinx poets have played a vital role in shaping diasporic identity, institution building, and community organizing. 

This first program takes place on the steps of the Brooklyn Public Library, with a live performance by Bobby Sanabria and readings by Emanuel Xavier, Darrel Holnes, Mariposa Fernandez, and others.
