With the River on Our Face: Borderlands Poems Description:
Join us for an evening with Emmy Pérez, the latest in our Borderlands of Southern Colorado lecture series.

Pérez will talk about family history, living in the borderlands, and how her travels along the Rio Grande influenced her most recent book, With the River on Our Face, from which she'll share poems. She'll also present video clips and images of the borderlands and Southwest that have informed her writing process. As she presents the poems from her latest book project, Pérez will highlight the impact that community activism and Gloria Anzaldúa’s work have had on her writing.

Coffee and biscochitos at 6. Talk at 6:30.
