About this listen

Host Sophia Layne walks and talks with Antonio López, San Mateo County Poet Laureate and former Mayor of East Palo Alto, in a conversation spanning poetry to politics. Antonio reflects on growing up in an immigrant family, how verse became his way of telling truth, and what he’s learned leading in literary circles, in city hall, and in classrooms. With humor, heart, and a poet’s eye, Antonio shows how language can spark empathy, justice, and belonging.
