Poetry Tent

Multiplicity runs through Promises of Gold, a collection that explores the contradictions that live within the diasporic experience, lush with love and intimacy. José Olivarez, in his bilingual collection with Spanish translation by poet David Ruano González, investigates in a charming voice the points at which the American Dream and love-wrenched humanity converge and clash. Traveling across borders both physical and emotional, join Olivarez as he reads from his collection and discusses how connection creates and shapes us.
