Event Type

This reading continues a series that began more than two years ago, as poets from the United States visited Mexico City and read with Mexican writers at the small poetry-only community-run bookstore Librería Escandalar, a place where poets from different countries meet, hold readings, and exchange or leave books. These readings allowed us to get to know each other’s work, and to keep in touch since. Juan Malasuerte and Escandalar are two imprints associated with the bookstore, and a bilingual anthology of Latin American and U.S. poetry is presently being translated, with publication planned for 2026. It is a happy opportunity to be able to meet in person again, this time in New Orleans, and share these poems, and hopefully the anthology, with those present!
