The New York City launching of Memoria (Editorial Betania, 2022),
by the young Cuban poet Laura Domingo Agüero, who interweaves metaphors of her life, from her first breath as a conscious being, and throughout her childhood and young adulthood, in an attempt to find the hidden niche of the soul and the senses, all captured and visualized as in an album of treasured sepia photographs. The presentation will include a brief introduction by Betania publisher Felipe Lázaro, a critical overview by Prof. María Teresa González de Garay, a poem on Laura’s creative impulse by literary critic Jorge Luis Arcos, and a short reading from the book by the author.
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A with the poet and the panel, moderated by Manuel Rodríguez Ramos, director of our Literature Program.
This event is part of our CreateNYC Language Access Series on Cuban History, Art, and Literature. It will be held in Spanish and will be streamed through our YouTube channel.
