National Poetry Month of San Antonio is wrapping up this year's events this Sunday at 11:00 AM with a reading from Amanda Flores. Organized by the Celebration Circle, an interfaith nonprofit, "Voices and Vibes" will combine her work with live music as an exploration into multicultural understanding and connecting to "the Sacred in ourselves, each other and all creation, , expressed in ways that support people of all faiths – or no faith – alike." The event will be held at SAY SÍ. Free.
