Being a poet is a commitment that truly goes "beyond the words." In this program, three contemporary Mexican poets—Antonio Deltoro, Jorge Esquinca, and Francisco Hernández—discuss the catalysts that led them to write poetry and how their admiration for the art continues to grow. These noted artists share their perspective on what poetry has become for them in their own lives, relating many of their poems to personal experiences. (Spanish, 30 minutes)
