WFC Winter Garden

Regarded as one of the greatest and most influential poets of the 20th century, Chilean poet and Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda was a master of styles, ranging from erotically charged verses and historical epics to political manifestos and surrealist poems. In honor of National Poetry Month, an international roster of distinctive musicians and artists, including Clogs, Bob Holman, Pedro Soler with Beñat Achiary, Laurie Anderson, Cecilia Vicuña, Irene & Vojtech Havel, and Colin Stetson, gathers to celebrate Neruda’s work through music, spoken-word and song.
