Great news–even if you missed the wonderful reading by U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera at our own Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock earlier this month, you can still watch the video! Thank you to our volunteer videographer Richard Anderson.
Don’t forget–we also have oodles of other poetry readings on our Videos page!
