    Teresita Fernández and poet Emanuel Xavier present Poetry Under Fata Morgana, a free, public poetry event showcasing leading voices in spoken word poetry and performance on Thursday, September 17, 2015 from 6:00PM to 7:30PM in Madison Square Park.

    Invited poets include Emanuel Xavier, Sandra María Esteves, Bonafide Rojas, Machete Movement, and True. The program coincides with National Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15 – October 15, 2015) and situates a broad range of Latino experience and literary production within the context of contemporary American poetry.

    The program will take place under Teresita Fernández’s Fata Morgana, the artist’s shimmering outdoor exhibition with over 500 running feet of golden discs currently on view in Madison Square Park.
