Poet Martin Espada will share his award-winning poems in a program titled “Politics Though Poetry” at 4 p.m., Thursday, April 24, at the University of Delaware. The reading, free and open to the public, will be held in Bayard Sharp Hall, Delaware Avenue and Elkton Road, Newark. Espada began writing poetry at age 15, and has since been called “the Latino poet of his generation.” His poems draw upon his own Puerto Rican background and life experiences are included in his books “Zapata’s Disciple” and “Imagine the Angels of Bread.” The event is sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Programs and the Office of Hispanic and Latin American Concerns.
