Open-Hearted Horizon: An Albuquerque Poetry Anthology invites its readers into a poetic conversation where Albuquerque provides the inspiration – directly, associatively, obliquely – as a place and as a community. The new anthology, the latest book in the Poet Laureate Series published by UNM Press in partnership with the City of Albuquerque’s Department of Arts & Culture, includes 65+ Albuquerque-based poets and poems.
The launch event on March 10 will be an opportunity to connect with contributing poets and enjoy readings by New Mexico’s esteemed Poet Laureates. Books will be available for purchase in the Museum Store.
