2019 PEN World Voices Festival: Dreaming Out Loud

PEN America

Listen up. As rhetoric flies, politics grind, and heat increases along the United States’ southern border, the experiences of those who have risked their lives to cross from Mexico into the United States—and the voices of their families—must be heard. While the federal government grows ever more hostile and dismissive toward narratives of immigration, the PEN World Voices Festival features stories written by DREAMers, under the creative guidance of authors Álvaro Enrigue, Lisa Ko, and Charlie Vázquez. Don’t miss this celebration of truth, youth, and courage at the legendary Nuyorican Poets Cafe.
