Lives Brought to Life
Join Sandra M. Castillo, author, scholar and professor, who will discuss her book Eating Moors and Christians, a delicious concoction of imagery and history. A work of luminous poems of her life in post-revolutionary Cuba, of exile in Miami and her journey back, each time unearthing powerful new memories and voices that become part of this great ajiaco of magic, glorious food and unforgettable people. The book is a demonstration of leadership in action, her lived experience as a creative process and a necessary read here, there and everywhere.

Margo and Richard will join Susana H. Case, Ellen Kombiyil for the panel After Violence: The Poetics of Trauma and Resistance:
The panel investigates the role of factual accuracy in poetry and poetics—why poets choose to invent or alter facts and the difficulty in portraying traumatic memory. To call something real suggests that it is so in relation to ourselves, but there are multiple realities to daily life and its events, accuracy a form of negotiated reality. What if research reveals conflicting truths? What is the cost of invention to the poem and to the poet? How do the psychological and physiological workings of memory and post-traumatic growth affect the act of writing? How does the influence of the world outside the writer, its politics, memes, and rewarded behaviors, hinder or enrich the truth as it is conveyed in poetry?
