*About the Speaker*

*
*

*Richard Blanco* is the fifth inaugural poet in U.S. history—the 
youngest, first Latino, immigrant, and gay person to serve in such a 
role. He was born in Madrid to Cuban exiled parents and raised in Miami, 
and the negotiation of cultural identity and place characterize his 
three collections of poetry: /City of a Hundred Fires/, /Directions to 
The Beach of the Dead/, and /Looking for The Gulf Motel/. His awards 
include the Agnes Starrett Poetry Prize from the University of 
Pittsburgh Press, the Beyond Margins Award from the PEN American Center, 
the Paterson Poetry Prize, and the Thom Gunn Award. He has been featured 
on /CBS Sunday Morning/ and National Public Radio’s /Fresh Air/. A 
builder of cities as well as poems, Blanco holds a B.S. in Civil 
Engineering and an M.F.A in Creative Writing. He is a Woodrow Wilson 
Visiting Fellow and has received honorary doctorates from Macalester 
College, Colby College, and the University of Rhode Island. He has 
taught at Central Connecticut State University, Georgetown University, 
and American University. Blanco currently lives in Bethel, Maine. A 
memoir of his childhood in Miami, /The Prince of Los Cocuyos/, was 
recently published by Ecco/Harper Collins.

This event is co-sponsored by IPRH, the Chancellor's Inclusive Illinois 
Lecture Series, the College of Engineering, and the Creative Writing 
Program's Carr Reading Series.
