To kick off Pride Month, San Antonio literary-arts center Gemini Ink is partnering with journal Infrarealista Review and literary initiative Letras Latinas at the University of Notre Dame’s Institute for Latino Studies to host a gathering focused on sustaining Texas’ queer and trans Latinx literary communities.
Part poetry reading and part discussion forum, the event “Trans Poetica: A Pride Month Literary Plática” reflects that these voices and those of allies won’t be silenced by threats, invalidation or the political climate being propagated by the current presidential administration.
Pushcart Prize-nominated poet Keagan Wheat, Burns author SG Huerta and Stalina Villarreal, Spanish translator and author of Watcha will take part in the discussion. Cloud Delfina Cardona, the 2024-2025 Letras Latinas Poetry Coalition Fellow, will moderate.
All four authors will give readings, discuss their craft and share thoughts on their current roles in literary communities. A Q&A session and book signing will follow.
Free, 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday, June 5, Gemini Ink, 1111 Navarro St., (210) 734-9673, geminiink.org.
