Earlier in the semester, Distinguished Professor Kimiko Hahn wanted to have a guest writer come speak to her undergraduate poetry workshop. Instead of keeping that reading small, however, she’s decided to open those doors to everyone!

If you’re on campus on April 29th, come through to hear Ricardo Alberto Maldonado read from his award-winning poetry and translation work!

Ricardo Alberto Maldonado was born and raised in Puerto Rico. A graduate of Tufts and Columbia University’s School of the Arts, he is the author of The Life Assignment (Four Way Books, 2020), a finalist for the Poetry Society of America’s Norma Farber First Book Award, one of Remezcla’s Best Books by Latine or Latin American Authors, and Silver Medalist for the Juan Felipe Herrera Best Poetry Book Award. He is also the translator of Dinapiera Di Donato’s Colaterales/Collateral (National Poetry Series / Akashic Books, 2013) and coeditor of Puerto Rico en mi corazón (Anomalous Press, 2019), a bilingual anthology that raised funds for grassroots recovery efforts in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
