Poetry of Witness with Javier Zamora
Wednesday, March 30, 2022
Virtual Seminar 1:30pm-3:00pm & Public Poetry Reading 6:00pm-7:00pm

Zamora’s Unaccompanied (2017) is a family’s risky song of longing and love for a country torn apart by war and gang violence. His poems are rooted in the recollections of a nine-year-old boy traveling alone for thousands of miles and confronting the realities of borderland politics, racism, and economic injustice.

Public Poetry Reading, 6:00pm-7:00pm | Registration Required
