A Latina Fiesta with poetry and song... Feel the fire of an entire continent! Poets, musicians, actors, poetry-lovers, come celebrate what is most
current in Hispanic Poetry. Our Poetry Marathon is still the only one of its kind - and it's for the whole family to enjoy!
The Pen and the Word Poetry Marathon celebrates the participation of these renowned poets from Spain, Latin America and the USA. Together they raise their voices,
along with young, heretofore unknown poets, to pay homage to that Greater Voice, Pablo Neruda.
Additional, special participation by:
D.C. Poets Against the War
Lizza Bogado (Asunción - Paraguay), songs in Spanish and Guaraní, Paraguay’s native language.
El Mundo Flamenco de Don Quijote, Compañía Danzamarina (baile flamenco).
Booksale, Concessions, Cash Bar, Silent Auction,
Poetic Activities, and Much More!
This event takes place with special funding from the Arlington County Cultural Affairs Division & Arlington Commission for the Arts, Continental Airlines, OASIS Travel,
