The World in Red and Black: A reading and conversation with Four Oaxaca Poets

The náhuatl phrase for red and black ink signifies the power and permanence of the written word, of poetry. In this reading four poets from Oaxaca, read their poems written in Spanish, Zapotec, and English, and reflect on transcendence and language, the influence of landscape, immanence, and cultural border crossing. As part of the reading, they’ll interrupt themselves and each other to raise questions, to debate, and to invite the audience, as well, into the conversation.

NOTE: This live event is cancelled but will be presented virtually, schedule TBA.
