There is a strong and growing movement under way to promote Rhina Espaillat - poet, teacher, immigrant from Latin America - as President Biden's Inaugural poet. The attached Open Letter to President-elect Joe Biden - already signed by an impresssive number of well known poets - summarizes our case and provides background info on Rhina, for those who might not already be familiar with her work and background.

We urge you to join this movement. Rhina represents so much that is
good about America. Push your congressperson, of course. And shout it from the rooftops!
