Here's the text of an announcement for an upcoming event at The University of Tulsa. Students of my course, SPAN 4073 Poesía latinoamericana, will be presenting original poetry on the theme of time. 

The logo, designed by a colleague in the School of Art who is organizing the event, incorporates Mesoamerican elements such as the two horizontal lines and two dots (the T and the U) to signify the number 12.
