Welcome To The Flamenco Poets Society

The Flamenco Poets Society is an organization dedicated to promoting an appreciation and understanding of "Latin American and Spanish poets and the Flamenco Arts".  

Poetry is a passion for sharing our experiences of love, humanity, honor, death and reminiscences.  The Flamenco Poets Society strives to convey the emotions of these poets who have recorded their experiences through the written word.  Our readings and programs have taken place in different locations in Houston.

We organize two readings per year, and our guest readers have read bilingual programs featuring the works of Federico Garcia Lorca, Pablo Neruda, Ruben Dario, Gabriela Mistral, the Anthology of Flamenco Poetry, Pablo Neruda Centennial Celebration, Julia de Burgos, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, José Gorostiza, Octavio Paz, César Vallejo, Rosario Castellanos, Kyra Galván.  We have an annual Storytellers Event and our  popular Café Cantante Series juxtaposes poetry with flamenco music and dance.

The goal of The Flamenco Poets Society is to promote education and understanding of Latin American and Spanish literary culture.

The Flamenco Poets Society is a non-profit organization based in Houston with the mission to enhance cultural education for the general public.

We look forward to having you attend one of our future events.
