 The Poetic Voice of California
 
Presentation by
 
Juan Felipe Herrera
UCR Professor of Creative Writing
California Poet Laureate
 
The State of California is now learning what we at UCR have known for a very long time. Juan Felipe Herrera is a treasure! Recently named by Governor Jerry Brown in March as the California Poet Laureate, Herrera’s talks are always fun, inspiring, and insightful. Although he is at his best when inspiring children, he will surely show the CUC why he is such a great ambassador for UCR and the State of California!

When named Poet Laureate, Herrera said, “This award is for all the young writers who want to put kindness inside every word throughout the state, because kindness is the heart of creativity.” 

Juan Felipe Herrera is the son of migrant farm workers and holds the Tomás Rivera Chair in Creative Writing at UC Riverside. He earned his bachelor’s degree from UCLA and holds master’s degrees from Stanford and Iowa. He joined the UCR faculty in 2005. He has published numerous volumes of poetry, prose, theater, children’s books and young adult novels, including “Half of the World in Light: New and Selected Poems” which received the PEN/Beyond Margins Award, and National Book Critics Circle Award. He was elected to the Board of Chancellors of the Academy of American Poets, and has received the Guggenheim Fellowship in poetry, fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the California Arts Council, and the UC Berkeley Regent’s Fellowship.
