So many reasons to love this book, "Magical/Realism" by Vanessa Angélica Villarreal. Her intellectual rigor, heart, fierce resistance and infectious joy are some of the reasons why I admire her. Grateful for her visit to IAIA during the last MFA-CW residency.

Delighted to have shared a panel with Daniela Ramirez about place at the Association of Rural and Small Libraries Conference in ABQ last month. Her book, WELCOME HOME, ESMERELDA, is so beautiful, I highly recommend it. Here's to the home we make in each other's hearts.
