Enjoy an evening of poetry with Dawn Lundy Martin, winner of the 2006 Cave Canem Poetry Prize, and Sheryl Luna, winner of the inaugural Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize. This dynamic poetry pairing is presented in connection with a new initiative piloted by the Guild Literary Complex, Cave Canem and the Institute for Latino Studies at the University of Notre Dame. In addition to the reading in Chicago, Martin and Luna have been awarded a cohort residency at Ragdale, Lake Forest, Illinois. The program is supported with a grant from the Joyce Foundation.
