In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, come ready to share or enjoy a special edition of our Open Mic series with the theme of Connection featuring teacher, writer, and poet, Mauricio Novoa.

Mauricio Novoa was born and raised in Glenmont, MD to Salvadoran refugees. He attended Gettysburg College, where he lived briefly after graduation. There he worked with middle and high school students in a Migrant Education after-school program, helped tutor in adult ESL classes, and volunteered at Casa de le Cultura programs. He received his Master’s degree from Queens University of Charlotte. Memorias From The Beltway is his first full-length collection of poetry.
