Villanueva in an hors d’oeuvre and book signing event at Zocalo Cocina
Mexicana Restaurant at 35 Stanhope St, Boston, MA 02116 (a 15 min. walk from
the AWP Conference). In return, we will be sure to publicly thank all donors
and supporters during the course of the evening’s event and also in the event
program.

(1989), Poetas sin fronteras (2000), and most recently in The
Norton Anthology of Latino Literature (2011). He has taught creative

LATE BREAKIG NEWS...
Reyna Grande is a
finalist for the National Book Critics Circle
Award in Autobiography for her acclaimed 2012 memoir, The
Distance Between Us (Atria Books). If you missed it, you will enjoy my Los Angeles Review of Books interview with Reyna
where she discusses her memoir. Last year, Luis J. Rodriguez was a finalist in
the same category. As Rigoberto
González noted to me this morning when he broke the news: “Our lives
matter.” Congratulations, Reyna!
