Three poets from across the Americas offer their poems to musicians, songwriters, and visual artists to weave a dialogue of hope and freedom. Josefina Báez (Dominican Republic / US), Norma Cantú (Mexico/US), and Margarita Drago (Argentina/US) read and discuss each other’s creative processes, as their poems in turn converse with the work of artists and musicians from Argentina, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, and the US. Through these creative exchanges, the poets engage in dialogue to generate a series of braided interdisciplinary works.
