To mark the 1-year anniversary of the show at the Cultural Commons of San Antonio, I’m sharing this mural created by Coral Diaz which features a poem of mine, Hijos Dalgos. I was honored to have this displayed at the City of San Antonio’s Tricentennial Celebration last year and wanted to share the piece with you all!
