Past Noche Programs & Community Poems

Noche de Poetas

Although Noche programs have been happening regularly since the 1990s, we have little documentation of these pioneer programs. We are gathering oral histories and materials to shed light on the early years, but in more recent years students have shaped a great record through these community poems. Enjoy!
