The Distinguished Poets Series is sponsoring a Virtual Reading via Zoom with José Antonio Rodríguez, Saturday, September 11, 2021, 2:30 – 3 PM (EST).

His writing explores the multiple borders between the margins and the center, drawing inspiration from a wide range of sources, including his background as a poor, queer, Mexican immigrant and first-gen high school and college graduate. 

Jose Antonio Rodriguez's latest books are the poetry collection This American Autopsy and the memoir House Built on Ashes. His work has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The Nation, Poetry, Paterson Literary Review and elsewhere. He holds a Ph.D. in English from Binghamton University and teaches in the MFA program at the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley.
