Online Program: Poets House Presents: Desirée Alvarez

Poets House Presents is a series of 10 minute readings by poets that are streamed on Twitter & posted on our Archive, Facebook and Youtube on Wednesdays and Fridays at Noon—to keep our community thriving.

Desirée Alvarez reads four poems from her book Raft of Flame (Omnidawn, 2020) from her country poet’s house in Bridgewater, CT, on sacred Potatuck land.

Desirée Alvarez is a painter, poet, and teacher at CUNY and The Julliard School. Her work has received three Artist Fellowships from New York Foundation for the Arts and a European Capital of Culture Award. Her second book, Raft of Flame, is out now!
