Presenter's Biography

Richard Blanco picture

As a poet, memoirist, and essayist, Blanco captivates audiences around the nation and the world with his dynamic storytelling and powerful craft. Selected by Barack Obama as the fifth Presidential Inaugural Poet in US history, Richard Blanco stands as the first Latinx, immigrant, and gay person to serve in such a role. In the words of Obama, himself, “Blanco’s contributions to the fields of poetry and the arts have already paved the path forward for future generations of writers.” He has authored four poetry collections and two memoirs. His latest book of poems, How to Love a Country, both interrogates the American narrative, past and present, and celebrates the still unkept promise of its ideals
