Every year, Teatro de la Luna is proud to host its Spanish Poetry Marathon La Pluma y la Palabra (The Pen and the Word). This year – the 24rd marathon – is no exception. The unparalleled two-day event, which opens at the Library of Congress at noon on Thursday, June 10 and continues at Casa de la Luna on June 11, celebrates the best in Spanish-language poetry and is dedicated to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the passing of Miguel de Cervantes and 100th of Rubén Darío. |

Poetry inspires, illuminates, builds language and connects communities. Well-known Hispanic poets, accomplished local poets and open-mike readings are featured at the Marathon. Being this event free of charge, it is an act of love supported by volunteers. Nonetheless, there are expenses that must be covered.
