Good morning! I wanted to make you aware of a grant opportunity available through Library of America's Latino Poetry: Places We Call Home initiative. As part of this initiative, public libraries and cultural organizations in all fifty states and Puerto Rico are invited to apply for $1,200 grants for programs exploring Latino poetry and its ongoing relevance to American national life.
