SUMMARY:Juntando Orillas: escrituras afrolatinoamericanas. Una conversación sobreenajenada and Tidal Waters.
DESCRIPTION:The authors Kianny Antigua and Velia Vidal will dialogue about her works with Andrea Change and Mary Hawley. This is a bilingual event in Spanish and English. \n\n\n\n\n\n“enajenada\, de Kianny Antigua\, es un poemario sobre la experiencia humana másvisceral (opresión\, dolor\, angustia\, otredad\, desesperanza\, encuentro con lasombra y resurgimiento) representada desde la voz y el cuerpo que componen lasexperiencias estéticas de las feminidades situadas geopolíticamente en el Caribe”.– Lauristely Peña Solano. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Tidal Waters\, by Velia Vidal and translated by Annie McDermott\, is an epistolary\,fictional account of one woman moving towards happiness in the black communityof Colombia’s Pacific coast. Vidal offers a vision of how creating something (foryour community\, for yourself) is a way of reading and writing your way into a knownplace and a new self.” – Charco Press \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Tidal Waters \n\n\n\nby Velia Vidal \n\n\n\n\n\nAn epistolary\, fictional account of one woman moving towards happiness in the black community of Colombia’s Pacific coast. \n\n\n\nAfter a long absence\, Vel has come home to Chocó – to the Afro-Colombian community\, to her family\, to the sea. This is where the Pacific meets the Caribbean\, where she’s establishing herself anew. And the record she keeps is a series of letters to a friend\, clarifying for herself where she stands\, as she describes that homecoming to another. Vel works to build a literary centre\, writing career\, and festival with and for the people there. But her return to Chocó is also a claim-staking of her decision to pursue happiness now; an account of her immersion in the towns and rivers and forests she came from; and a redefinition of her relationship to sex and love in real time. And Tidal Waters is a vision of how creating something (for your community\, for yourself) is a way of reading and writing your way into a known place and a new self. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout enajenada \n\n\n\nby Kianny Antigua \n\n\n\n\n\nAnticanonical Value\n\n\n\nBy Lauristely Peña Solano \n\n\n\nenajenada by Kianny Antigua is a collection of poems about the most visceral human experience—oppression\, pain\, anguish\, otherness\, hopelessness\, encounter with the shadow and resurgence—represented by the voice and body that make up the aesthetic experiences of femininities geopolitically situated in the Caribbean. […] enajenada proposes to lose\, on purpose\, patriarchal and sexist reason\, to lose it permanently\, to build a new reason from love and the scream\, that does not ignore the traumas\, the frustrations involved in being a Caribbean woman.  \n\n\n\nIn an emotional transition\, enajenada reminds us “[That] no matter / how much of a poet I am: / The ridges of my nails / always end up smelling / of crushed garlic and onions.” Despite that which is society\, patriarchy and its vices\, in writing\, Antigua affirms: “I found my own room. / In it I am able to fly / to emerge from within / to transgress and transform myself into that woman / of all dreams.” \n\n\n\nValor anticanónico\n\n\n\nPor Lauristely Peña Solano \n\n\n\nenajenada\, de Kianny Antigua\, es un poemario sobre la experiencia humana más visceral (opresión\, dolor\, angustia\, otredad\, desesperanza\, encuentro con la sombra y resurgimiento) representada desde la voz y el cuerpo que componen las experiencias estéticas de las feminidades situadas geopolíticamente en el Caribe. […] enajenada propone perder\, a propósito\, la razón patriarcal y machista\, perderla de manera permanente\, construir una nueva razón desde el amor y el grito\, que no ignore los traumas\, las frustraciones implicadas en el ser-mujer-caribeña.  \n\n\n\nEn un tránsito emocional\, enajenada nos recuerda “[Que] no importa / cuán poeta sea: / el lecho de mis uñas / siempre termina oliendo / a ajo majado y a cebollas”. Pese a eso que es la sociedad\, el patriarcado y sus vicios\, en la escritura\, Kianny afirma: “Encontré mi habitación propia. / En ella soy capaz de volar / de emerger de entre los adentros / de transgredir y transformarme en esa mujer / de todos los sueños”.

SUMMARY:Book Release: They Call You Back by Tim Hernandez
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a book presentation and celebration for They Call You Back (University of Arizona Press) by Tim Hernandez.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA haunting\, an obsession\, a calling: Tim Z. Hernandez has been searching for people his whole life. Now\, in this highly anticipated memoir\, he takes us along on an investigative odyssey through personal and collective history to uncover the surprising conjunctions that bind our stories together. Hernandez’s mission to find the families of the twenty-eight Mexicans who were killed in the 1948 plane wreck at Los Gatos Canyon formed the basis for his acclaimed documentary novel All They Will Call You\, which The San Francisco Chronicle dubbed “a stunning piece of investigative journalism\,” and The New York Times hailed as “painstaking detective work by a writer who is the descendent of farmworkers.” In this riveting new work\, Hernandez continues his search for the plane crash victims while also turning the lens on himself and his ancestral past\, revealing the tumultuous and deeply intimate experiences that have fueled his investigations—a lifelong journey haunted by memory\, addiction\, generational trauma\, and the spirit world. They Call You Back is the true chronicle of one man’s obsession to restore dignity to an undignified chapter in America’s past\, while at the same time making a case for why we must heal our personal wounds if we are ever to heal our political ones.
