Since last year, Juan Felipe Herrera has served as U.S. poet laureate. This hour, we’ll talk with him about how being the son of immigrant farmers has affected his work – and about how we can get young readers and writers more interested in poetry. Herrera speaks tonight at the Latino Cultural Center as part of the “Literacy in Motion” event.
