CANCELED: Poetry off the Shelf: Javier Zamora

Due to mechanical issues with plane travel, Javier Zamora had to cancel his reading. BUT DON'T WORRY! You can see Javier Zamora on Friday, March 23, at 7:30 PM at Women & Children First Bookstore, 5233 North Clark Street in Chicago. 

Javier Zamora, a 2016 recipient of the Ruth Lilly and Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg Poetry Fellowship from the Poetry Foundation, was born in the small El Salvadoran coastal fishing town of La Herradura and immigrated to the United States at the age of nine, joining his parents in California. His chapbook Nueve Años Inmigrantes/Nine Immigrant Years won the 2011 Organic Weapon Arts Contest, and his first poetry collection,  Unaccompanied, was published by Copper Canyon Press in 2017.

Cosponsored with Letras Latinas at the University of Notre Dame's Institute for Latino Studies 

Presented in collaboration with the Poetry Coalition as part of the "Where My Dreaming and Loving Live: Poetry & The Body" nationwide programming
