Twenty-five Cent Stories

I’m happy to post that I will be a poet-in-residence at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in conjunction with its “Bittersweet Harvest: The Bracero Program” exhibition in Washington D.C. from December 5 through 6. I’ll be doing four readings under the program “The Poetics of Labor: A Reading Series for Bittersweet Harvest” (poet Naomi Ayala will be reading, too!).

Saturday, December 5: 11:00am and 2:15pm, in the exhibition 2nd floor west

Sunday, December 6: 12:00pm and 3:00pm, in the exhibition 2nd floor west

 Special thanks to the co-sponsor, Francisco Aragon and Letras Latinos, as well as the coordinator, Magdalena Mieri!

I haven’t been to D.C. since spring of 2001. I’m excited to go again and not worry about the terror tourists may have felt the first few years after 9/11. My only concern is weather. How privileged!
