CANCELLED: The Breakbeat Poets Vol 4: LatiNext Book Launch
National Museum of Mexican Art
1852 W 19th St
Free Admission
Join us in celebrating the release of The Breakbeat Poets Vol 4: LatiNext, an anthology that opposes silence and re-mixes the soundtrack of the Latinx diaspora across diverse poetic tradition. In the dynamic tradition of the BreakBeat Poets anthology series, LatiNext celebrates the emovided narratives of Latinidad. Poets speak from an array of nationalities, genders, sexualities, races and writing styles, staking a claim to cultural and civic space. The event will feature performances by two of the book's editors, José Olivarez and Felicia Rose Chavez, along with readings by contributors Melissa Castro Almadina, Daniel Borzutzky, Davon Clark, and Victoria Chavez Peralta. A book-signing will follow the event.
Cosponsored with Young Chicago Authors, Haymarket Books, and the National Museum of Mexican Art
