Featuring Francisco Aragón and Roy G. Guzmán, moderated by Dan Vera.
Two poets from the Central American diaspora read from their recent books and engage in conversation that touches upon their new books’ queer poetics.
Queer Poetics: A Reading & Conversation focuses on the queer angles and aspects in the work of Francisco and Roy. The event will feature brief readings by both poets, followed by a discussion moderated by Dan Vera, recipient of the Oscar Wilde Award for Poetry and the Letras Latinas/Red Hen Poetry Prize, on the aspects, role, language, and significance of queerness in their poetry.
