Remembering Hurricane María & Its Aftermath: Two Readings


"Literatura, Música, y (Huracán) Maria: Reflections from the Diaspora"


​Join me for two FB Live Readings this month (9/12/18 & 9/19/18).

I'm hosting both readings to keep Puerto Rico front of mind as we approach 9/20, the one year anniversary of Hurricane María making landfall on the island.

If you join live or watch the replay of either reading, I hope you will also support my fundraising campaign on behalf of Puerto Rico's Taller Salud.  

(My campaign has ended, but you can support Taller Salud directly using the link below):

On September 12, 2018 at 10am (PST), I read my personal essay:

"Literatura, Música, y (Huracán) Maria: Reflections from the Diaspora."

Click on the essay title above to read the published version and to follow along as I read.

Click on the video image below to watch!

Below that you'll find links to the texts and songs I reference throughout the essay.

Grateful acknowledgements to VIDA Review for giving this essay a home.
