SUMMARY:Contemporary Narratives by Dominican Women
DESCRIPTION:With this new Latino literary collection Erika M. Martínez has brought together twenty-five engaging narratives written by Dominican women and women of Dominican descent living in the United States. The first volume of its kind\, Daring to Write’s insightful works offer readers a wide array of content that touches on a range of topics: migration\, history\, religion\, race\, class\, gender\, and sexuality. The result is a moving and imaginative critique of how these factors intersect and affect the daily lives of these Latina women. \nThe volume opens with a foreword by Julia Alvarez and includes short stories\, novel excerpts\, memoirs\, and personal essays and features work by established writers such as Angie Cruz and Nelly Rosario\, alongside works by emerging writers. Narratives originally written in Spanish appear in English for the first time\, translated by Achy Obejas. An important contribution to Latino/a studies\, these writings will introduce readers to a new collection of rich literature. \n“Be prepared for a feast\, and then\, as with all such blessings of plenty\, share it: tell others about this book\, put it on your syllabi\, on the shelves of your bookstores and libraries. Nourish yourself and others with the rich and savory sancocho of the work collected here. As we Dominicans say when a visitor arrives at mealtime\, ¡A buen tiempo! Readers\, you have indeed come at a good time.” —Julia Alvarez\, from the foreword \n“Daring to Write gathers in one volume and for the first time Dominican women writing across genres and against gender norms and borders of all kinds. The result is a moving and imaginative critique of how gender\, race\, and class intersect in the daily lives of women in the Dominican Republic and in the diaspora. This book is an important contribution to women’s studies and Latino/a studies.”\n—Daisy Hernández\, coeditor of Colonize This! Young Women of Color on Today’s Feminism \nYalitza Ferreras was a 2014–15 Steinbeck Fellow at San Jose State University. She received an MFA in creative writing from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, where she won the Delbanco Thesis Prize. Her writing appears in the Colorado Review and Wise Latinas: Writers on Higher Education. She is currently working on a novel and a collection of short stories. \nErika M. Martínez\,recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship and a Hedgebrook Writing Residency\, holds an MFA in English and creative writing from Mills College. Her writing has been adapted for the stage and has been featured in the anthologies Wise Latinas: Writers on Higher Education\, Homelands: Women’s Journeys across Race\, Place\, and Time\, and Second Sense of Place: The Washington State Geospatial Poetry Anthology. Her work has also appeared in Muthamagazine.com\, Consequence magazine\, and the Afro-Hispanic Review. She has taught creative writing in the Dominican Republic and is the editor of the annual Middle & High School Voices for the National Writing Project in New Hampshire. \n– See more at: http://moderntimesbookstore.com/event/yalitza-ferreras-and-erika-m-martinez-daring-to-write-contemporary-narratives-by-dominican-women/#sthash.ML9mbwJi.dpuf

SUMMARY:Ethan Miller\, Daniel Higgs\, + Sylvie Simmons
DESCRIPTION:Readings by Ethan Miller\, Daniel Higgs\, and Sylvie Simmons: \nEthan Miller is a founding member of the bands Comets on Fire and Howlin’ Rain. His debut book of poetry\, The Glasgow Birds\, The Denver Shitter and Other Poems of Musical Life is a dream stroll through 15 years of musical life on the road.

Copies of this limited edition chapbook will be available for sale! http://www.silvercurrentrecords.com/index.php \nDaniel A.I.U. Higgs\, interdimensional song-seamstress and corpse-dancer of the Mystic Crags was born in the harbor city of Baltimore\, USA in the early-mid sixties of the previous millennium. Having begun singing 25 years ago\, he is perhaps best known as the singer and lyricist of the band Lungfish\, which is now\, as it often has been\, quasi if not entirely defunct. Presently\, the music Daniel manifests proceeds without the blessing/curse and help/hindrance of collaborative influence. http://www.thrilljockey.com/artists/daniel-higgs \nSylvie Simmons\, a widely regarded writer and rock historian since the late 1970s\, is one of few women to be included among the predominantly male rock elite. She’s a cult fiction writer and the author of biographies of Leonard Cohen\, Serge Gainsbourg\, and Neil Young\, among others.
