Poetry Reading with Lorna Dee Cervantes

Tuesday, April 5th, 1:30 p.m.- 3:00 p.m.

Arts 335

 

One of the preeminent voices in Chicana literature and American poetry,

Lorna Dee Cervantes is a dynamic poet whose work draws tremendous power

from her struggles in the literary and political trenches. Her power is
channeled

by a keen intellect and careful attention to craft, which allows her to
explore the

boundaries between language and experience. Joy Harjo says of her poetry,

"Lorna Dee Cervantes is a daredevil... We are transfixed as she juggles
rage,

cruelties, passion. There is no net. Seven generations uphold the trick of
survival.

No one is alone in this amazing act of love."

 

Cervantes' first book, Emplumada (University of Pittsburgh, 1981), was a

recipient of the American Book Award. Her second collection, From the Cables
of

Genocide:Poems on Love and Hunger (Arte Público, 1991) was awarded the

Patterson Poetry Prize, the poetry prize of the Institute of Latin American

Writers, and the Latino Literature Award. Her most recent work, Drive: The
First

Quartet, was published in 2006.

Sponsored by Chicano Student Programs, the Department of English, The Center
for Ideas and

Society, the College for Humanities, Arts, & Social Sciences, the MFA
Program in Creative Writing and

Writing for the Performing Arts, the Department of Theatre, and MALCS de
UCR.
