This year's Time of Transition conference at Minnesota State University, Mankato will be held on April 6.

This year's conference, entitled "El periodo de transicion," deals with the current state of Pan American literature and society.

The keynote speaker is poet and scholar Valerie MartÌnez, whose talk is titled "The Boom and Beyond: A Revolution in Words." This speech promises to be a dynamic, inspirational, and rigorous examination of the extraordinary Hispanic literature produced throughout the Americas in the last forty years.
