We are pleased to announce that Carmen Rivera,

OBIE Award winning playwright and author, has

joined Red Sugarcane Press.

 

Ms. Rivera's play, Julia de Burgos: Child of Water

will be published in the Spring (2014). 

 

Julia de Burgos (February 17, 1914 - July 6, 1953)

was one of Puerto Rico's most influential poets. 

The play is being published in time to celebrate the

centennial anniversary of her birth. Advance copies

available for order on this site.

Events in New York City; Chicago; Buffalo, New York; and Puerto Rico will celebrate the life and work of JULIA DE BURGOS, whose name is synonymous with the Puerto Rican diaspora experience. She was born on February 17, 1914 in Carolina, Puerto Rico and  died tragically in New York City on July 6, 1953 at the age of 39. Julia’s poetry was her life force, her praxis. In her poetry, she consolidated her subjective experience with the social and personal reality of her time.

 

These events are free.
