Join us for our next addition to the Masters at Marshall Distinguished Speakers Series, A Conversation with Javier Zamora, award-winning poet, memoirist, and author of Solito, the powerful true story of his solo journey from El Salvador to the U.S. as a nine-year-old child.
Zamora gives voice to the immigrant experience, exploring themes of identity, memory, belonging, and resilience. His work challenges borders — both physical and emotional — and invites us to reflect on the human stories too often left untold.
This is more than a reading: It’s a conversation about survival, family, and the power of words to build bridges.
