Bilingual Reading by Students from Poetry Inside Out

Poetry Inside Out (PIO) presents an evening of poetry in two languages! Bilingual poetry readings feature elementary school students from the PIO program at Hawthorne & Cragmont Schools taught by John Oliver Simon. Students will read their original poems and translations of each other's work as well as poems by great masters of Spanish-language poetry (Neruda, Garcia Lorca, Huerta, etc). PIO is the Center for Art in Translation's educational project that brings translation into the schools to increase language comprehension and cultural awareness.

This event is free and open to the public.
