Travel back in time with us to visit Langston Hughes's Mexico & Cuba, LIVE at Brooklyn Artery! Did you know he was a prolific translator of Spanish? He famously translated Afro-Cuban poet Nicolas Guillen (in black vernacular) and Spaniard poet Federico Garcia Lorca's Gypsy Ballads. But did you know he also translated fiction from Mexico & Cuba? NO? Neither did we! Ricardo Wilson II collects these translations from Hughs in Troubled Lands. Ricardo will be in conversation with the amazing @kylecarrerolopez whose forthcoming collection PARTY LINE (from @graywolfpress) is one of the most anticipated poetry collections in recent memory.Ciara Warner will lead us in a channeled reading of Hughes before Ricardo discusses his process of curating and editing this collection. #block-2365c449a81f3bc832b3 { } #block-2365c449a81f3bc832b3 .sqs-html-content { } #block-2365c449a81f3bc832b3 { mix-blend-mode: var(--tweak-text-block-blend ); border-radius: var(--tweak-text-block-radius); } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-2365c449a81f3bc832b3 { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { #block-2365c449a81f3bc832b3 .sqs-html-content { } } @media screen and (max-width: 767px) { }
