Description:
Enjoy the unifying power of poetry in many languages!
Do you write in a language other than English? You are invited to recite your original poetry, lyrics, or spoken word piece and to present it in English translation. Each poet will have five minutes to read an original work.
If you don't wish to read, please join us in the audience.
Our featured poet will be Martín Negrón-Pérez. Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Martín recently moved to LA for work. They believe in the power of poetry as witchcraft, and are on a journey of (re)discovering their poetic voice. Martín was awarded 1st place in the II Concurso Internacional de Poesía Julio Cortázar (Argentina, 2023), and the I Certamen Literario LGTBIQA+ “Don Benito Diverso” (Spain, 2022). Their poetry has also appeared in several journals in Latin America.
