With a heart
bursting of joy, I want to share with you, La Bloga readers, the book release
for Ocelocíhuatl (Mouthfeel Press,
2015), my latest book of poetry. This
event will be in two meaningful places, Xalapa, Veracruz, México and Kansas
City, MO, in addition to a poetry reading workshop and an additional radio
program in Xalapa.
PALABRA DE AUTOR
reading series is sponsored by part of El Ágora de la Ciudad de Xalapa and will
host the book release for Ocelocíhuatl
on January 13, 2016 at 7 p.m. with Claudia Domínguez as emcee. The event will be followed by a book
signing. I am thankful to all the team
members of El Ágora de la Ciudad for making this possible and especially to
V.H. Vásquez-Rentería, Director de El Ágora de la Ciudad.
In Kansas City, MO
at the Writers Place as part of the Writers
Place Reading Series, my book release of Ocelocíhuatl continues on Friday, January 22, 2016 at 7 p.m. I will be sharing the stage with Sandy
Hazlett and Craig Salvay.
In addition my
book release in Xalapa, I am excited about a workshop I will be giving, Leyendo poesía en voz alta, on January
12 and 13 at Ágora de la Ciudad.
Finally, a book review just published today on Ocelocíhuatl
in “Both Sides”, Diario de Xalapa, by Remedios Aguirre. ¡Viva la poesía!
“Heart tugging, infused with red blood throughout, yet
gifting of peaceful moment of “Turquoise branches, good fortune dragons, Djembe
drums” in Kansas City, or chanting birds in El Salvador. The jaguar woman turns places into familiar
environment, wherever she may be.”—Remedios Aguirre
It is such an
honor be working with institutions and individuals from both Xalapa and Kansas
City for this new book. Muchas gracias a
tod@s and especially to my readers.
