Mega Corazon Rebroadcast

If you missed Mega Corazon on April 6th, we’re continuing to celebrate National Poetry Month throughout all of April by restreaming the event online every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The event features San Antonio’s premiere performance poets—all of whom nimbly agreed to shift from live sets to self-filmed performances. Celebrating a hybrid San Antonio poetic tradition that combines street, classical, and slam performance styles, Mega Corazón promises to be frontal, improvisational, at times painful, and choreographed for a highly visual impact. This year’s Mega Corazón restream will still take place from 10a-6p every MWF, with youth focus during the first 3 hours and can be viewed for free online (urban15.org/live-stream).

Poets include current San Antonio Poet Laureate Andrea “Vocab” Sanderson, former San Antonio Poet Laureate Octavio Quintanilla, and inaugural San Antonio Poet Laureate and former Texas Poet Laureate Carmen Tafolla; National Book Award finalist John Phillip Santos; nationally-recognized poetry slam champions Amalia Ortiz and Anthony “The Poet” Flores; National Poetry Month SA organizer Jim LaVilla-Havelin; playwright Gregg Barrios; taco poet Eddie Vega; Jazz Poets founder Eduardo Garza; Rohn Bayes; Jacinto Cardona; Marisol Cortez; Génesis Linares; Jessica Tilton Zertuche; Natalia Treviño; Frances Treviño Santos; and Nathan Zertuche.

All Mega Corazon segments are free of charge and can be viewed online at http://urban15.org/live-stream. Afterwards, Mega Corazon will be archived online at http://hiddenhistories.tv/archives/
