The Big Texas Author Talk featuring Carmen Calatayud

Online & Digital Events Poetry Literature

What’s Happening?

Join us on Wednesday, Dec. 18th, 2024 via Zoom for a conversation with Carmen Calatayud, author of This Tangled Body. Moderated by Francisco Aragón, director of Letras Latinas.

RSVP for Zoom Invite: https://geminiink.org/events/the-big-texas-author-talk-featuring-carmen-calatayud/

This Tangled Body reads as surreal poetic memoir, navigating family history, war, migration, and the grit of relationships. Calatayud’s willingness to face the land of the dead and cross all borders is on full display. As she invites us to “leave this continent and/light the path behind us on fire,” her poetry insists we return to love and love hard.

Carmen Calatayud is the daughter of immigrants: A Spanish father and Irish mother. Her book This Tangled Body was published by FlowerSong Press, in conjunction with Letras Latinas, in 2024. Her first book, In the Company of Spirits (Press 53), was runner-up for the Academy of American Poets Walt Whitman Award and a Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize finalist. Calatayud is a Larry Neal Poetry Award winner and a member of the Macondo Writers Workshop.
