The CNM Main Campus Library will host an evening of literary and artistic celebration on April 10, 2025, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. The Spring Visiting Writer Event & Leonardo Release Party promises to be a fun night featuring Albuquerque’s new Poet Laureate, Damien Flores, along with CNM students whose poetry, creative non-fiction, fiction, art, music, and multimedia work is featured in the 2025 issue of Leonardo, CNM’s student-produced fine arts and literary magazine.
Before the evening’s festivities, which will include a reading by Flores, whose poetry has earned him numerous accolades, including Albuquerque’s 7th Poet Laureate, he will offer a free poetry workshop earlier in the day from 2:00 to 3:30 PM at the Main Campus Library Classroom (SRC 201K). The workshop is open to students of all experience levels, providing a valuable opportunity for anyone interested in honing their creative writing skills.
The Spring Visiting Writer Event & Leonardo Release Party is made possible thanks to the support of the Executive Council of Students (ECOS), the CNM Co-Curricular Learning Initiative, and the Governing Board’s General Activities Account (GAA).
This event is a celebration of creativity, community, and the talented students who contribute to CNM’s vibrant culture. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to engage with fellow students, pick up a copy of Leonardo 2025, and be inspired by this creative movement at CNM.
