When numbering your collaborations borne of personal relationships that have created space for Latino literature, in addition to the fabulous five that you have mentioned, I'm recalling that Sister Marianne Farina, C.S.C. and the Center for Women's Intercultural Leadership at Saint Mary's College were part of creating wonderful spaces, plural, in the funding, premiering, and supporting of the Poetas y Pintores: Artists Conversing with Verse collaborative venture. That you have been part of even more rich collaborations over the fifteen years since we left graduate school than can be brought immediately to mind is a testament to your high level of effective advocacy and the multivalence of your positive impact. Your friend, with best regards, MariaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04608207387604148638noreply@blogger.com
