Pease library to host celebration of Latino poetry

PLYMOUTH — The Center for the Book, in collaboration with New Hampshire Humanities and University of New Hampshire, and through a grant from the Library of America, will host a celebration of Latino Poetry in the Granite State. The celebration will center around “Latino Poetry: The Library of America Anthology,” edited by Rigoberto González, 2024. Sets of “Latino Poetry” will be loaned to each library for use in their program. Links to each of the hosting libraries and a full schedule of events is at nhsl.dncr.nh.gov/latino-poetry.

The Pease Public Library will host a conversation on the theme of music and performance on Wednesday, March 19, at 6 p.m. at the library. Copies of the book will be available for check out by late-February and will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis.

“Latino Poetry: Places We Call Home” is a major public humanities initiative, planned for 2024–25, that celebrates and explores the multifaceted legacy of Latino poetry. It is directed by Library of America and funded with generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
