Whether you’re a poet with words to share, a listener hoping to sit back and enjoy, or both, the Poetry Den has been the place in South Bend to unite poets and friends for over ten years.

Founder and host Pam Blair starts with an open microphone featuring a wide variety of voices and styles. The evening finishes with this month’s featured artist, Jo Hackett.

This free event is offered both in-person and online via Zoom. Because some poets may use mature language, participation by those 18 and older is encouraged.

After growing up in Puerto Rico, Joaquin Robles moved to South Bend, Indiana, and lived forty-plus years here.

In a new episode of our oral history podcast, Joaquin talks about his experiences in this city, and his perspectives on multi-generational discrimination and evolution of the Latines community here.

Listen on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.


This episode was produced by Jon Watson from the Ernestine M. Raclin School of the Arts at IU South Bend, and by George Garner from the Civil Rights Heritage Center.
