antología recién publicada en Los Ángeles.

This
Town Like That by José Faus (Spartan Press 2015)
"From
the first poem in this pocket-sized collection to the last, I found myself not
only entertained, but intrigued; curious about “this town” and wondering how
with fifteen years in this city, does Faus introduce me to new aspects of it,
as well as make me wish I too knew 39th Street and Kansas City/the
Midwest as well as he does. " G. A. Aybar
Desde Honduras Reyna Tejada fue invitada por Cross
Border Network (CBN) a Kansas City, Judy Ancel es la Presidenta de CBN y Melissa Archer la coordinadora. Tejada vino para presentar la plática, The Hands that Sew your Clothes: Garment Workers in the Honduran

ReplyDelete¡Hola José Carrillo! En cuanto la Dra. Villalobos me dé luz verde paso la información. ¡Saludos hasta Seattle!
ReplyDelete¡Hola!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am very glad that Xanath made the time to talk with me and I am excited about our interview. The interview explores her poetry in terms of her aesthetics, issues of identity, and her most recent travels outside of the United States.
I will keep you updated about the interview when it is published.
Thank you for your interest in this project!
Saludos cordiales,
Dra. Villalobos
