Ana Castillo: A Virtual Reading Event
A Virtual Reading Event
Date: April 26, 2022Time: 12:00pm to 12:50pm
Location: Online
Join us on Tuesday, April 26, from 12-12:50pm over Zoom to learn from Ana Castillo, author of So Far From God, Massacre of the Dreamers, and My Book of the Dead.
For more than thirty years, she has been mesmerizing and inspiring readers from all over the world with her passionate and fiery poetry and prose. The original Xicanista is back to her first literary love, poetry, and to interrogating the social and political upheaval the world has seen over the last decade. Angry and sad, playful and wise, Castillo delves into the bitter side of our world — the environmental crisis, COVID-19, ongoing systemic racism and violence, children in detention camps, and the Trump presidency — and emerges stronger from exploring these troubling affairs of today.
