Students at San Francisco State University recited their poems alongside Spanish poet Elvira Perpinyà, who showcased poetry from her new book “Di-Versos y me regalaron sonrisas,” at an event organized by the department of modern languages and literature and the Spanish program in honor of Latinx Heritage Month on Thursday.
The event was organized by professor Ana Luengo, coordinator of the Spanish program at SFSU, who published a book through the same editorial as Perpinyà in Barcelona, establishing a connection all the way from Spain.
“It just so happened that Elvira Perpinyà, a poet I hold in high regard from Barcelona, came to visit California and I thought, ‘‘I have to bring these two things together,’” Luengo said.
Every semester, the Spanish program organizes a cultural event to create a sense of community among the students of the program and invite people from outside the department.
