Academy Award-nominated actress Rosie Perez hosts a historic, multilingual gathering of major and emerging Caribbean and Latine writers from the new anthology Daughters of Latin America — including Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Quiara Alegría Hudes, acclaimed memoirist and screenwriter Esmeralda Santiago, and others. Spanning time, styles, and traditions — and expertly curated by Sandra Guzmán — Daughters of Latin America is a dazzling collection of essential works from 140 Latine writers, scholars, and activists. Witness this celebratory summit of literary voices representing a multitude of languages, geographies, and diasporas — a major event in world literature to kick off the Unterberg Poetry Center’s 85th-anniversary season.
