This week, we'll listen to two stories that first played in Season One, and share a common theme—hidden history. A transcript of the episode will be available on Latinxlitmag.com starting Friday April 1st.
Julieta Corpus, author of 'The Midwife,' is a bilingual poet from Mexico whose work has been included in The Thing Itself, and the Texas Poetry Calendar. Her latest literary contribution is a collaboration with poet Katie Hoerth and visual artist Corinne McCorkmack Whittenmore: Borderland Mujeres, published by Texas A&M Press. It will be available in the Fall 2021. Julieta's first poetry collection, Of Love And Departures / De Amor Y Despedidas published in June 2021 by EM Editoriales is now available through Amazon. Of Love And Departures / De Amor Y Despedidas is a bilingual poetry collection about grief and lamentation after losing a spouse to cancer. The book is written in English and in Spanish because the man and woman who laugh, dance and love within its pages, fell in love reading poems to each other, and speaking to each other from hearts which had been molded, weathered, broken, and made whole again in both tongues. Julieta currently works as a bilingual translator, editor, and a South Texas Community College adjunct with the English Department.
Camila Santos, author of 'It's Just Dancing,' was named a Center for Fiction Emerging Writer Fellow in 2020. Her work has appeared or is upcoming in Newtown Literary, Columbia Journal, Minola Review and the New York Times. Her work in Portuguese can be found in Ruído Manifesto and is forthcoming in Coletânea de Poesia - Mulherio das Letras, EUA. She is currently working on her first novel and a collection of short stories.
