Reading With Mexican Poet David Huerta, Translator Mark Schafer and Poetry Inside Out students

David Huerta, who has been a central figure in two of the most influential poetic movements in 20th-century Latin American literature, is widely recognized as one of Mexico’s greatest living poets. He’ll read from his groundbreaking new poetry collection, and will be joined by noted translator Mark Schafer, recipient of numerous grants and awards, including two translation fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. The event also features a special appearance by students from the Center for the Art of Translation’s Poetry Inside Out program. Students from all over the Bay Area will read their translations of Huerta’s poetry.
