As a lead-up to the launch of Review 88 on May 15, these authors and contributors to the issue will discuss the legacies of violence that have marked the histories of their respective countries as well as their own work, and creative strategies for transcending them. Andrea Cote Botero will conclude with a poetry reading. This program will be conducted in Spanish with simultaneous English interpretation available. A book signing will follow, in collaboration with Posman Books. Read more. Learn more about Review magazine. Click here for Free Online Access to Editor’s Choices in Review 88
