Join us at the Internationalist for an evening of passionate poetry with Raina León!

"Raina León is a fiery and courageous poet. The poems in 'Canticle of Idols', her first collection, are explosions of pain and transcendence, jagged epiphanies, surreal, haunting, erotic and anguished by turns. Whether challenging Catholic orthodoxy or celebrating her Afro-Puerto Rican legacy, remembering the struggles of an addict or the touch of a lover, León's poetry sings hymns to life in the midst of death. Listen."
