PITT POET RICHARD BLANCO SELECTED TO COMMEMORATE THE REOPENING OF THE U.S. EMBASSY IN HAVANA, CUBA




Richard Blanco, the inaugural poet for President Obama, has written a special poem, Matters of the Sea / Cosas del Mar, and will read it during the ceremonial reopening of the United States Embassy in Havana, Cuba on August 14, 2015. The Embassy had been closed since 1961.
Watch the MSNBC interview with Blanco discussing this historic event.
University of Pittsburgh Press is pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of Matters of the Sea / Cosas del Mar, a bilingual chapbook that beautifully reproduces poet Blanco’s stirring poem. The expected publication date is September 30, 2015.

“Matters of the Sea is one of the most emotionally complex and personal poems I’ve ever written, invested with all my love for the people of two countries that are part of my very being. As with the presidential inauguration in 2013, I am once again humbled and honored to participate as a poet in another historic moment of such significance. I’m elated by the power of poetry to mark such important, communal moments, and be a catalyst for change and understanding by reaching deep into our emotion selves and connecting us to our shared humanity.”

—Richard Blanco
The chapbook will be available for preorder here shortly and through your favorite bookstore or online retailer.
