TPA Contributor Reading in Honor of Carol Coffee Reposa

Join us for an evening of poetry by Texas Poetry Assignment contributors.

For this occasion, we will remember our friend and fellow poet, Carol Coffee Reposa.

TPA contributors will be asked to read one of their poems recently published in Texas Poetry Assignment and if they wish a poem by Carol, who recently passed.

Carol was the 2018 Texas Poet Laureate and TPA contributing poet.

The poems, reviews, and essays of Carol Coffee Reposa have appeared in The Atlanta Review, The Evansville Review, The Texas Observer, Southwestern American Literature, The Valparaiso Review, and other journals and anthologies.

Author of five books of poetry—At the Border: Winter Lights, The Green Room, Facts of Life, Underground Musicians, and New and Selected Poems 2018—Reposa was a finalist in The Malahat Review Long Poem Contest (1988), winner of the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center Poetry Contest (1992), and winner of the San Antonio Public Library Arts & Letters Award (2015).

She also has received five Pushcart Prize nominations in addition to Fulbright-Hays Fellowships for study in Russia, Peru, Ecuador, and Mexico. She was also a member of the Texas Institute of Letters and of the editorial staff at Voices de la Luna.

Seven of Carol’s poems have appeared in TEJASCOVIDO, Texas Poetry Ballots, and Texas Poetry Assignment, and two of these are included in our anthology Lone Star Poetry.
