Synopsis

"Even when I try not to write about home, it ends up in [my work]. Even in the inaugural poem that I wrote and read for President Obama’s inauguration. I thought that was just a poem about our country...the whole poem is about our yearning to come home to our figurative home, to come home to America, to finally belong under one roof. And I was like, 'darn it, there I go again. There's the home again.'” Richard Blanco sat down with Elena and Zach to discuss his writing process, growing up Cuban-American, and building bridges through storytelling.
