THE ACADEMY OF AMERICAN POETS CELEBRATES 90 YEARS OF POETRY

Join the Academy of American Poets for a 90th anniversary reading and conversation featuring JOY CASTRO and CARLIE HOFFMAN, highlighting questions of national identity, migration, displacement, and belonging. Castro offers readers an intimate glimpse into the history of early 20th-century Cuban émigré society in Key West through Tears and Flowers: A Poet of Migration in Old Key West, a bilingual edition of Feliciano Castro’s poetry. Hoffman’s When There Was Light maps out a topography across Eastern Europe and America where global movements of diaspora and war live alongside personal reckonings, illuminating the relationship between private and public histories, memory and loss, remorse and mercy. Moderated by MARY SUTTON, senior content editor for the Academy of American Poets.
