Documentation is something Letras Latinas takes to heart. In that spirit, we offer this photo gallery of Day 1 of our PINTURA: PALABRA weekend. Our workshop instructors, Valerie Martínez and Brenda Cárdenas, spent the morning and afternoon at the Library of Congress. First they each made an audio recording for the Archive of Hispanic Literature on Tape. After lunch, they gave a splendid presentation on ekphrastic poetry which, thankfully, was video recorded for future viewing. But the highlight of the day, arguably, was the reception we held this Valentine's Day evening for the workshop participants (I'm happy to report that all ten are photographed. But I must also offer a feeble apology for not being able to properly identify a number of their accompanying guests. Enjoy:
