In recent professional e-correspondence, I was referring to the roster of events below as a “season.” That’s a mistake. It sounds nice, but it’s inaccurate. A “season” suggests a cohesive, coherent thought-out whole.

So…a “Letras Latinas Presents” event is likely part of another organization’s season such as, for example, the O.B. Hardison Poetry Series at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C.
