Variations on a Theme: Local Conversations about Latino Poetry

The Center for the Book, in collaboration with New Hampshire Humanities and UNH, and thanks to a grant from the Library of America invites you to join us in a celebration of LATINO POETRY HERE IN THE GRANITE STATE. Our celebration will center around LATINO POETRY: The Library of America Anthology, edited by Rigoberto González, 2024. In early 2025 public libraries around the state will be hosting VARIATIONS ON A THEME: LOCAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT LATINO POETRY EVENTS. Each of these CONVERSATIONS WILL FOCUS ON A PARTICULAR THEME AND WILL CENTER ON THE POEMS IN LATINO POETRY: the Library of America Anthology. Sets of LATINO POETRY WILL BE LOANED TO EACH LIBRARY FOR USE IN THEIR PROGRAM THANKS TO THE SUPPORT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE HUMANITIES AND GIBSON'S BOOKSTORE.
