NHCC HLA Herencia Speaker Series: Poetry Reading with Leticia UrietaWednesday, December 9, 2026
6:30 pm
NHCC | HLA Salón Ortega
Author, poet, and teaching artist, Leticia Urieta, will be joining us at the NHCC to share her new poetry book, Offerings to a Tumbled Temple. In this stunning poetry collection, Urieta transforms the lived experience of chronic pain and healing into ritual, language, and myth. The body—both sacred and wounded—becomes the site of prayer and reckoning. Through altars built of blood, memory, and tenderness, these poems offer not only lamentation but also fierce reclamation: the body as temple, tumbled yet enduring.
Drawing inspiration from writers such as Sonya Huber, Ada Limón, and Torrin A. Greathouse, Urieta writes toward acceptance and reclamation. Offerings to a Tumbled Temple is a testament to survival and love in all its painful forms—a book that insists on the beauty of the body’s resilience.
