Longleaf Press website September 13, 2011

Hello friends, Just wanted to let you know that the publisher of my chapbook, Everyday Chica and the spoken word CD Everyday Chica, Music and More, has finally updated its website. It has a few kinks in it but at least my book is on the homepage–yea! And, no, that cover image is not me; [...]

El Centro Iberoamericano Para El Estudio de la Décima August 31, 2011

The second day I was in Cuba, I made my way to El Centro Iberoamericano Para El Estudio de la Décima in the Vedado neighborhood of Havana. My goal for my trip was to visit with the educators who help promote the décima poetic form throughout the island. I was lucky enough to meet with [...]

Day one in Cuba August 12, 2011

We had to be at the Miami International Airport at 4:00 a.m. for the 8:00 a.m. flight; this experience begins with being bombarded with “wrappers” who will wrap your luggage with green plastic for $15 a piece. These wrappers, mostly young men but also some women, are waiting for travelers as soon as they step [...]

Visiting Cuba August 12, 2011

This is the beach where my parents met I just returned from 8 days in Cuba; it was wonderful and amazing and often sad. My brother Danny accompanied me; he hadn’t been to Cuba since 1979 when we went with our parents–to meet our grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and assorted relatives. I returned in 1999 [...]
