Chicano writer Nephtali De León has been named the city's sixth poet laureate, filling the post most recently held by Andrea 'Vocab' Sanderson.
“I am humbled and honored that the city I love, San Antonio, Texas, selected me to be its Poet Laureate," he said in a statement."Poetry is to the soul what music is to the ear. It is the most profound impassioned quest to brush with the divine. In San Antonio, we speak through our ancestors in a code-switching modality, taco flavored musings. It is the poetry of our jalapeño hot, chili flavored souls! It is time to raise the roof high and celebrate our city.
In 2012, San Antonio became the first major Texas city to appoint a poet laureate. The first writer to hold the position was Carmen Tafolla, followed by Laurie Ann Guerrero, Jenny Browne, Octavio Quintanilla and most recently Andrea"Vocab" Sanderson.
