SOMOS Writer’s Showcase presents: “My Last Name” – A SOMOS Poetry Workshop with Martin Espada
This is a generative workshop. Through the example of a great Afro-Cuban poet, Nicolás Guillén, and the voices of the poets in workshop, we will explore ancestors, family, culture, history, language, memory, the known and the unknown, the spoken and the unspoken, elements that make up what we call “identity.” Poets will write on the spot, then read their poems aloud—not for critical feedback, but only for thunderous applause.
