SUMMARY:Palabra Pura: Greater Than The Sum Of Parts
DESCRIPTION:“As Latin@s born and bred in the U.S.\, our sense of identity\, culture\, mother tongue and family are often complicated and contradictory. We are not a uniform group and sometimes don’t play well with others – even with our own gente. Yet on our life’s journey\, aided by our writing\, we find the integrity as individuals to stand firmly in self-definition\, unafraid to acknowledge those aspects of ourselves that make our antepasados shudder with aversion. February’s Palabra Pura presents work by fearless\, complex\, authentic voices that deny the easy definitions we are often thrust into as 21st Century Latin@s.” ~ Teresa Vázquez\, February Palabra Pura curator and host \nl to r: Emmanuel Ortiz\, Lucrecia Guerrero\, Elizabeth Marino\, Paul Martínez-Pompa\, Teresa Vázquez\nGuest authors include: Lucrecia Guerrero and Emmanuel Ortiz from Indiana\, and Elizabeth Marino and Paul Martínez-Pompa from Chicago. \n  \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nLucrecia Guerrero grew up on the U.S./Mexico border in a bilingual and bicultural home.  Both her mother\, from Kentucky\, and her father\, from Puebla\, Mexico\, were proud of their respective cultures and shared that with Guerrero and her siblings.  Her short stories have been published in literary journals such as “The Antioch Review” and “The Louisville Review\,” and have been anthologized in Fasntastmas: Supernatural Stories by Mexican-American Writers (Bilingual Press) and Best of the West 2009 (U of Texas Press).  Chasing Shadows\, her collection of linked short stories was published by Chronicle Books\, and Bilingual Press/Arizona State U. published her novel Tree of Sighs.  Her novel received a Christopher Isherwood Fellowship and the Premio Aztlán Literary Award.  She leaves and teaches in the Midwest. \nElizabeth Marino is a Puerto Rican poet and educator\, based in Chicago.
