Ricardo León Peña-Villa is known to many simply as Poeta, and even though his latest book, Loisaida: Historias del Frío, is filled with short stories and not poems, his verse carries a rhythm that more than earns him the title. On Friday, December 9, at the Lectorum bookstore in Manhattan, the book containing 24 stories was officially presented in the U.S. The stories take readers from la Habana, to Umbrella House, occupied by squatters in the Lower East Side (a movement which the Poeta was a part of and the place the story collection is named for), to the country of his birth Colombia.

Of Forgotten Times and Latino Writers
30 Sep 2005
As part of its Hispanic Heritage Month activities, the The Queens Library New Americans Program in New York City presented Dominican author Marisela Rizik. Marisela read from her first novel Of Forgotten Times which was originally written in Spanish. The novel deals via fiction with the dictatorship of Trujillo in the Dominican Republic and its impact on women. The reading, held at a local public library ,was followed by a lively and bilingual question and answer session.
It is events like these that serve to help Latino writers connect in an industry that is all about connections. It also helps readers gain a greater understanding of the role of literature in the community as a way of preserving and relating history.
