Four recent graduates of FIU's MFA Creative Writing Program read vibrant and
thought-provoking works Sept. 9 at our annual alumni Writers on the Bay reading at Books & Books in Coral
Gables. Yaddyra Peralta's birthplace, Honduras, came alive in her verse.
Ex-military
men confronted horrors in a Nazi research facility in postwar Germany
in James Elens' novel. A
failed psychic set-up shop in Anjanette Delgado's novel to help jilted
women navigate divorce court. Poet Guillermo Cancio-Bello tackled the old human mysteries,
love and nature. A wonderful Sunday afternoon to celebrate literature! Many thanks to Fabienne Merritt for photographing the event.
