Student comments about Dr. Virgil Suarez

“I went to see Virgil Suarez Friday morning. He was a very colorful speaker and I enjoyed his message. Hearing his writings about the Cuban people was very enlightening. I never realized the magnitude of their desire to come here. His speech made the hour pass fast...not many people can do that.” – Virginia Fairchild

“I attended the Cuban Poetry Night. What I liked most was that Virgil Suarez not only read his poems, but also told us so many interesting facts and stories about Cuba and the Cuban lifestyle. Additionally, I appreciated his direct unornamented language when reading his poems. He has the ability to make those people fascinated in poetry, who hardly ever think about it. Suarez is a very expressive person and if I would have the chance then I would go again to his readings.” – Alice Hossain

“I saw part of Virgil Suarez's presentation about Cuban poetry. I was expecting it to be kind of boring, but it wasn't like that at all. Mr. Suarez was amusing and quite witty. And the poetry was really awesome.” – Hannah Marsh
