Border Justice Reading

Thursday, March 8
7 p.m.
Free and open to the public

Sonora Review will host a reading for justice on the border to help provide a humanitarian voice in reaction to the prevailing and sometimes deafening, regressive political noise surrounding the issue in Southern Arizona. Poetry and prose writers will read their work related to justice on the Mexican/American border, and the idea of borders. Please come to Casa Libre for this reading and discussion panel.
