Join Young Artist Institute Artists-in-Residence and acclaimed poet Richard Blanco in conversation with Bobby Arellano for an evening of exploring the American narrative, past and present, and the unkept promise of its ideals.

The Academy of American Poets chose Richard Blanco to serve as its first Education Ambassador. He writes lesson plans for the Academy, visits students at all grade levels, and conducts workshops for educators on innovative and easy ways to teach poetry. He is also a frequent poet-in-residence at high schools across the country, offering interdisciplinary programs for both students and educators, customized to meet each school's particular needs.
