This a letter to Jocelyn Carranza, who was 11 years old when she gave us her life after being harassed by her US schoolmates because of the immigration status of her parents. This is a letter about Latino Poetry, the comprehensive, urgent, groundbreaking volume for the annals of United States, compiling 186 voices pacing from past to future of our literature, edited by Rigoberto González, and published by The Library of America. This letter is the first of our live readings series, funded in part by Poets & Writers, as well as public funds from the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council, and by the Brooklyn Arts Fund of The Brooklyn Arts Councils, also supported by the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs.
