first draft

Margarita Engle delivers a lecture on poetry as a vehicle for historical exploration; she also reads poems from The Lightning Dreamer (2013) and Silver People (2014).

A selection of tracks that feature poets reading new work inspired by Tucson, the Poetry Center guest cottage, or the desert at large. Thank you to former Library Director Wendy Burk for compiling a list of poems written by visiting poets about or while in Tucson, which deeply aided in the process of creating this playlist.
