evening to Pen Press: Plaquettes de Poesía. Pen Press is a
New York-based small press founded in 1998 with the goal of
“promoting contemporary Latin American and Spanish poetry,
and poets of other languages in Spanish translation.” On this
occasion, its editorial director, Mercedes Roffé, will
present the series, and two renowned English-language poets from its
translation catalog: Montreal poet Erín Moure, and New York
poet Leonard Schwartz (now visiting from Evergreen State College, WA),
who will read from their work.
Marcos Wasem, poet and web designer, will introduce Pen
Press’ brand-new site: www.edicionespenpress.com.
