How to Love a Country
The Cuban American civil engineer turned writer, Richard Blanco, straddles the
many ways a sense of place merges with human emotion to make home and belonging
-- personal and communal. The most recent -- and very resonant -- question he's
asked by way of poetry is: how to love a country? At Chautauqua, Krista Tippett
invited him to speak and read from his books. Blanco's wit, thoughtfulness, and
elegance captivated the crowd."
