Language, commerce and colonial history once connected the world's original global cities of Manila, Madrid and Mexico City. This in-person reading explores how poets in the Filipinx and Latinx diasporas refigure identity and rediscover kinship in a multicultural and postcolonial world.

Featuring Josiah Luis Alderete, Aileen Cassinetto, Alan Chazaro, Alice Dparres, Dina Klarisse, Keana Aguilar Labra, Kevin Madrigal Galindo, Neal Tayco & Jorge Argueta

Light refreshments will be served. This event is proudly sponsored by the Filipino American Center at the San Francisco Public Library, Philippine American Writers and Artists, Inc. (PAWA), and Poets&Writers.
