Join us for the second student-led installment of our popular WAX POETICS series, 'SOY LA SOMBRA QUE PROYECTAN MIS PALABRAS.' In this listening session, co-curated by Woodberry Poetry Room undergraduate staff Victoria Amani Mwaniki Kishoiyian and Tess Wayland, we'll immerse in a selection of Spanish recordings made throughout the twentieth century in Latin America, traveling from Octavio Paz's Mexico to Julio Cortázar's Argentina to Pablo Neruda's Chile. Interspersed between selections from the recordings, we'll hear short reflective speeches penned by undergraduates in Concilio Latino and WHRB 95.3 FM. 

The listening session will be followed by a reception where guests will have the opportunity to individually explore recordings at our turntables or to browse the poets' books at stations throughout the room. 

In-Person Attendance: This event will take place at the Woodberry Poetry Room, Lamont Library, Room 330. Free and open to the public. 

Note: The recordings featured in this listening session are in Spanish and are not accompanied by English translations.
