Readings

Poetry: Eduardo Corral

  • This is a past program

“This is Technicolor poetry,” writes Ray Olson of Eduardo Corral’s Slow Lightning, in which he “mixes colloquial Spanish and English, and he packs many, many lines with sharp, sensual, specific imagery.” Such linguistic originality garnered a Yale Series of Younger Poets award for Corral, making him the first Latino poet to win the competition. 

This series of poetry readings is organized and hosted by poet, literary critic, and UCLA professor Stephen Yenser. 


Complimentary coffee and tea served. A book signing will follow the reading.

This series of readings is cosponsored by the UCLA English Department, the Friends of English, and the UCLA Department of Cultural and Recreational Affairs.

All Hammer public programs are free and made possible by a major gift from the Dream Fund at UCLA. 

Generous support is also provided by Susan Bay Nimoy and Leonard Nimoy, Good Works Foundation and Laura Donnelley, an anonymous donor, and all Hammer members. 

The Hammer’s digital presentation of its public programs is made possible by the Billy and Audrey L. Wilder Foundation.
