Angela Trudell Vasquez will read her poetry at 7 p.m., Wed., Nov. 6 in the Whipple Gallery on the campus of Southwest Minnesota State University.
Her reading is a part of the Visiting Writers series at SMSU. Vasquez’s new collection of poems from the book In Light, Always Light honor the illuminating power of poetry, but speak expressively of racial injustice and the dark “inherited grief” that is its offspring.
The poems include history, endurance, and remembrance of survival of migrant ancestors who worked hard for a future in a new country.
