Three acclaimed poets with new books in multiple genres take on questions of history, trauma, and family in the Americas. This event took place on June 9, 2023. To celebrate the publication of Julie Carr's Mud, Blood, and Ghosts: Populism, Eugenics, and Spiritualism in the American West (University of Nebraska Press, May 2023), she will be joined by award winning authors Cristina Rivera Garza, whose new book is Liliana's Invincible Summer and Brandon Shimoda, whose forthcoming book is Hydra Medusa for a joint reading and to discuss how family histories unearth the remains of patriarchal, settler-colonial, and white supremacist violence in the Americas. In Mud, Blood, and Ghosts, Julie Carr traces her own family's history, and the story of her great-grandfather Omer Madison Kem – three-term Populist representative from Nebraska –through archival documents to draw connections between U.S. agrarian populism, spiritualism, and eugenics, helping readers to understand populism's tendency toward racism and exclusion. Part coping mechanism, part magical act, Hydra Medusa was composed while Brandon Shimoda was working five jobs and raising a child—during bus commutes, before bed, at sunrise. ​A book of poetry, dreams and speculative talks, collected from the psychic detritus of living in the US-Mexico borderlands. Liliana's Invincible Summer is the account—and the outcome—of Cristina Rivera Garza's quest to bring her sister's murderer to justice. Through this remarkable and genre-defying memoir, Rivera Garza confronts the trauma of losing her sister and examines from multiple angles how this tragedy continues to shape who she is—and what she fights for—today. Speakers: Julie Carr's most recent books are Mud, Blood, and Ghosts: Populism, Eugenics, and Spiritualism in the American West, Real Life: An Installation, Objects from a Borrowed Confession and the essay collection, Someone Shot My Book. She lives in Denver where she helps to run Counterpath and teaches at the University of Colorado in Boulder. Cristina Rivera Garza is the award-winning author of The Taiga Syndrome and The Iliac Crest, among many other books. A recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship and the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize, Rivera Garza is the M. D. Anderson Distinguished Professor in Hispanic Studies, and director of the PhD program in creative writing in Spanish at the University of Houston. Brandon Shimoda is the author of several books of poetry and prose, most recently The Grave on the Wall (City Lights, 2019), which received the PEN Open Book Award, and Hydra Medusa (Nightboat Books, 2023). He is co-editing, with Brynn Saito, an anthology of poetry on Japanese American/Nikkei incarceration, forthcoming from Haymarket Books in 2025. Mary Sutton (moderator) is senior content editor for Academy of American Poets. Before joining the Academy, Mary was public humanities fellow at Library of America, where she worked with Kevin Young on African American Poetry: 250 Years of Struggle and Song and the book's companion website. Mary is currently also poetry editor at West Trade Review.

Cristina Rivera Garza is in conversation with Stacy Hardy about her book Liliana's Invincible Summer. Cristina reflects on the experience of writing this book – a celebration of the life of her sister Liliana, who was murdered in 1990 by an ex-boyfriend.  She considers alternative forms of justice, love, freedom, genre, the power of writing and language, subverting the narrative of patriarchy and the profound connections between the living and the dead. Stacy Hardy is a writer, researcher and editor. Her first short fiction collection, Because the Night, was published by Pocko, London in 2015, and a new collection, An Archaeology of Holes, was released in translation by Rot-Bo-Krik in France in 2022 and is forthcoming in English via Bridge Books, USA. Her plays and librettos have been performed globally. Hardy is also a lecturer in Creative Writing, a partner in Saseni, and a founder of Ukuthula, a pan-African initiative that develops new writing from and against gender-based violence. She is currently a research fellow at The University of Chicago. Cristina Rivera Garza is the award-winning author of The Taiga Syndrome and The Iliac Crest, among many other books. Rivera Garza is a recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship and the Sor Huana Inés de la Cruz Prize. She is the M. D. Anderson Distinguished Professor in Hispanic Studies, and director of the PhD program in creative writing in Spanish at the University of Houston.

Victoria Villarreal becomes the voice of a loving, tormented family member, Cristina Rivera Garza, who is seeking information about the murder of her sister Liliana. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Kendra Winchester discuss this audiobook that bears witness to Liliana's life. Villarreal uses a soft yet determined voice to characterize Cristina on her journey to find justice for her sister, and she captures the beautiful memories that Rivera Garza shares. This memoir is a beautiful example of a true crime audiobook that doesn't seek to make a spectacle out of tragedy but rather honors Liliana's life, seeks justice for her murder, and ties her story into the larger issue of violence against women.

Medaya Ocher and Kate Wolf speak with the renowned Mexican writer Cristina Rivera Garza about her first book written in English, Liliana's Invincible Summer: A Sister's Search for Justice. The book begins with Rivera Garza's experience of searching for the police record of her sister Liliana' murder, which took place in Mexico City in 1990 at the hands of an ex-boyfriend when Liliana was 20 years old. But the maze of bureaucracy and indifference she encounters leads her to another kind of record, that of Liliana's own writing. A mischievous, funny, and exceedingly bright young woman, Lilliana wrote frequently in journals and letters, and through them, as well as through the recollections of her many friends, Rivera Garza reclaims her sister's memory. A testament to familial love and the indelible nature of loss, the book also considers the epidemic of femicides in Mexico and the importance of the language and the activism that has emerged around such violence in the three decades since Liliana's death. Also, Malcolm Harris, author of Palo Alto: A History of California, Capitalism, and the World, returns to recommend Ma Bo'le's Second Life by Xiao Hong.

Un grupo de mujeres en un futuro de condiciones adversas es el escenario que plantea la escritora Cristina Rivera Garza. En él, la papa es cultivo esencial para la supervivencia y a la vez metáfora de resiliencia femenina. La pieza que inspira el relato es una muestra de planta de papa (Solanum tuberosum) recolectada en 1939 por el botánico inglés John Gregory Hawkes en las afueras de Sucre, Bolivia.

Hace muchos años que el de Cristina Rivera Garza es uno de los grandes nombres de la literatura latinoamericana. Escritora, traductora, docente y crítica literaria, además de fundadora del doctorado en Escritura Creativa en español en la Universidad de Houston, ha publicado, entre otros libros, Había mucha neblina o humo o no sé qué, Autobiografía del algodón y Nadie me verá llorar. Su último libro es El invencible verano de Liliana, por el que mereció el Premio Iberoamericano de Letras José Donoso 2021 y el premio Xavier Villaurrutia en su país. La imagen a la que alude el título se inspira en un texto de Albert Camus, en el que decía: “Me di cuenta, a pesar de todo, que en medio del invierno había dentro de mí un verano invencible”. El invencible verano de Liliana no es cualquier libro para Rivera Garza, como no lo es para sus lectores. Se trata de un manifiesto literario y político, una novela atroz, poesía pura. Treinta años después de ocurrido, la autora narra el femicidio de su hermana Liliana, y lo recupera a la manera del expediente que ya no existe (gracias a “los intrincados vericuetos de la justicia, que son los vericuetos infinitos de la impunidad”) y a través de todos los géneros literarios posibles. Liliana Rivera Garza fue asesinada en el pequeño departamento de Azcapotzalco en el que vivía el 16 de julio de 1990. Tenía 20 años, era estudiante de arquitectura y había decidido romper con su novio, Ángel González Ramos, para viajar a Londres a terminar sus estudios e iniciar una nueva vida. El asesino de Liliana, novio desde la adolescencia y prototipo del violento obsesionado, entró a la casa y a la habitación de la joven cuando nadie lo esperaba, hizo su “tarea” y huyó. Nunca más se supo de él, nunca fue juzgado. Cuando ocurrió el crimen, la historia se abordaba en los medios con dos palabras: “crimen pasional”. Hoy existe otro lenguaje para hablar de la violencia de género y muchos relatos ocultos y silenciados salen a la luz para encontrar, si ya no la justicia de los hombres, al menos la justicia literaria. En la sección Libros que sí Hinde recomendó “Chic. Memorias eclécticas”, de Felisa Pinto (Lumen), “Doctor Glas”, de Hjalmar Soderberg  (Leteo) y “Donde brilla el tibio sol”, de Silvina Giaganti (Mansalva) En la sección Voz alta, Valeria Correa Fiz leyó el poema "Lo gris en el canto de las hojas" del libro "Lo gris en el canto de las hojas", de Beatriz Vignoli. Valeria nació y creció en Rosario y actualmente vive en Madrid. Es autora del libro de relatos La condición animal que fue seleccionado para el IV Premio Hispanoamericano de Cuento «Gabriel García Márquez» y acaba de publicar por Páginas de Espuma el libro de cuentos “Hubo un jardín” Y en Te regalo un libro, Camilo Sánchez,  periodista, autor de las novelas “La viuda de los Van Gogh” y “La feliz” y editor del sello El bien del sauce, habló de la poesía reunida de la autora brasileña Adélia Prado y “La balada del álamo Carolina”, de Haroldo Conti.  

La escritora mexicana Cristina Rivera Garza ha visitado La Persiana Americana para hablar de su última novela, 'El Invencible Verano de Liliana', dónde recuerda a su hermana asesinada por su novio.

TRIGGER WARNING: Violencia, abuso sexual, aborto, feminicidio. 30 años después del feminicidio de su hermana, Cristina se atreve a revisar las pertenencias de su hermana. Se encuentra con cartas, dibujitos, poemas y pedazos de un diario a través de los cuales conocemos a una joven estudiante de Arquitectura, empática, divertida, amigable y con muchos sueños. Sin embargo, a través del testimonio de sus amigos, su familia e incluso los periódicos que narran su feminicidio, nos enteramos también de la situación de violencia que, casi en secreto, vivía a manos de su ex novio, Ángel González Ramos (todavía prófugo hasta el día de hoy). El libro es una "celebración de su paso por la tierra", perpetuando la existencia de Liliana a través de sus páginas. Hoy reseñamos un libro que nos recuerda que no estamos todas, nos falta Liliana, pero también que al patriarcado lo vamos a tirar. Música original por Ing. Ana Aguilar

ND stages a trialogue this week with MacArthur "Genius" Cristina Rivera Garza and Notre Dame critics Kate Marshall and Dominique Vargas. Professor Rivera Garza recalls roadtripping through Mexico in a bochito (a Volkswagen). For her, such drives became the mother of literary invention: there was no car radio and when family conversations died down, the window (and not an iPhone) became the screen that occupied her. In a more serious vein, CRG, Kate, and Dominique also discuss the role of linguistic mobility and translation in bringing Rivera Garza's novels and essays to English-speaking audiences. CRG reflects on how books change when they cross languages and reminds us that the United States is the second largest Spanish-speaking country in the world. This episode productively estranges us from a number of received narratives about national monolingualism and experimental writing. Professor Rivera Garza rejects the notion of aesthetic individualism and the idealized image of the solitary writer. She declares that language always has plural roots and her work is underpinned by the belief that we only become individuals when community fails.

En una mezcla de ficción, historia personal, y análisis histórico de archivos de la frontera norte de México, Cristina Rivera Garza ofrece una ruta para dilucidar “el algodonés” o, como lo cuenta ella en esta entrevista, “las traducciones que nos hemos inventado del lenguaje del algodón”. Autobiografía del algodón (Cuidad de México: Literatura Random House, 2020), sin embargo, va más allá del protagonismo del expansivo algodón pues también se incluye la vida de otros agentes, acaso personajes, que acompañan este relato. En sus páginas participan la atmósfera, los suelos, el desierto, el agua, la huelga, la movilización, la reforma agraria, la frontera, las presas, la infraestructura, la distribución de la tierra, e incluso la propiedad privada. En este episodio, la autora mexicana comparte sus motivaciones y estrategias para escribir “una novela que tiene como anfitriona a la ficción; una historia de migración que se entrecruza con la historia dramática y poderosa del algodón a inicios del siglo veinte en la frontera entre Tamaulipas y Texas”. Al final de la entrevista, escuchamos a Rivera Garza leer una selección de fragmentos de su libro. Entrevista por Valentina Ramia, candidata doctoral en antropología en Stanford University quien investiga sobre cómo se interpreta al miedo en procesos de asilo en Estados Unidos, especialmente en casos de personas de Latinoamérica.
