Join us as we welcome Richard Blanco, as he reads from a selection of his poems and participates in a Q & A session.  Blanco was selected to write and read the inaugural poem for President Obama’s second swearing-in on January 21, 2013. He is the first immigrant, Latino, and openly gay poet chosen to read at an inauguration and at 44, also the youngest.

This event will be followed by a book signing. Books & Books at the Museum will have a selection of his titles available for purchase.
