I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees. 
— Pablo Neruda

Pablo Neruda, Alfonsina Storni, Gabriela Mistral, Claribel Alegria, Federico Garcia Lorca, Miguel Hernandez: All are mid-20th century, Spanish-language poets from South America, Central America, and Spain. Their distinctive voices arise from their times and places. Together, we will read and discuss their poetry, in translation, and explore the context in which it was written.
