The book includes collage\, Ecuadorian decimas\, a sonnet series in the voices of Incan royalty at the moment of colonization\, and a long poem interspersed with photos and the author’s mother’s bilingual idioms. Traversing language and borders\, history and story\, traditional and invented forms\, this book guides us beyond survival to love. \n \nPaul will read a selection from the collection and be joined in conversation by Quenton Baker\, Jane Wong\, and Michelle Peñaloza. An audience Q&A and book signing will follow the event. Delicious fried plantains and bowls of corn will be served by an accompanying vendor\, Garzón Latinx Street Food!
