Chicana/o poets from Chicago to LA to Italy, we’re on
the move.
Chicago just recently celebrated the Poetry Festival
en español, Poesía en abril, their eighth annual event. From April 30 – May 2, DePaul University and
Revista Contratiempo worked together to bring poetry and poets to the windy
city. What a great opportunity for the
Latina/Chicana community in Chicago. I
will be sharing a few photos of this annual poetry festival.

Stay tuned for the Special Chicana issue of the
literary publication of Rivista di Poesia Sette Lune in Venice, Italy. I had the opportunity to be guest editor for
the upcoming June issue and seven female Chicana poets were translated into
Italian, along with Chicano art and music--more in June.

Chicanos in Mantúa for the Festival Internazionale di poesía Virgilio 2015, May 22 – 24. Thrilled
to learn that Alejandro Murguía will be part of this poetry festival along with
other wonderful poets. I’m looking forward
to seeing him perform. Last time I had a
chance to listen to him was in Los Ángeles in the 2010 Floricanto. I will also be part of the Virgilio International Poetry Festival. Looking forward to this
wonderful event.

say, but Viva la Poesía y grazie! Ciao, chao!
