Events › Writers Conference Kickoff

With equal parts poems, storytelling, and Q&A, Dallas’ inaugural poet laureate will share how he found poetry as a child. In our kickoff event, Joaquín Zihuatanejo will take us on a poetic journey from barrio boy to teacher to poet to World Champion and eventually poet laureate.
