Don’t miss the Kickoff with Dallas’ inaugural poet laureate Joaquin Zihuatanejo!
With equal parts poems, storytelling, and Q&A, Dallas’ inaugural poet laureate will share how he found poetry as a child. In our kickoff event, Joaquín Zihuatanejo will take us on a poetic journey from barrio boy to teacher to poet to World Champion and eventually poet laureate.

Our conference book is By the Book: Writers on the Literary Life from The New York Times Book Review. Pick up your copy at any upcoming Johnson County Library Author or Writing event, while supplies last.
