ON FAME & FRIENDSHIP: A POETRY READING & CONVERSATION WITH RICHARD BLANCO & CAMPBELL MCGRATH

Join us for a special conversation with Miami-Dade County Poet Laureate RICHARD BLANCO and his friend, mentor, and MacArthur “Genius” Fellow CAMPBELL MCGRATH. In Homeland of My Body: New & Selected Poems, Blanco has collected more than 100 poems from his previous books that represent his evolution as a writer grappling with identity, love, the idea of “home,” and ultimately art itself. McGrath’s Fever of Unknown Origin: Poems considers the intersection of history, beauty, and destruction, inviting readers on an urgent tour of landscapes – environmental, political, and personal – that reframes our perception of modern America.
