TANA celebrates book release, reading Wednesday
Local residents are invited to join Taller Arte del Nuevo Amanecer in celebrating the release of Laurie Ann Guerrero’s new book, “A Crown for Gumecindo,” a special collaboration with UC Davis Chicana/o studies assistant professor Maceo Montoya. He created 15 paintings based on Guerrero’s elegiac sonnets dedicated to her late grandfather.
The book release and reading with LGuerrero and Tim Z. Hernandez will run from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at TANA, 1224 Lemen Ave. in Woodland.
Guerrero, San Antonio’s poet laureate, was born and raised on the south side of San Antonio and received the Academy of American Poets Prize, among others, from Smith College. Winner of the 2012 Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize, her first full-length collection, “A Tongue in the Mouth of the Dying,” was released by University of Notre Dame Press in 2013. Poets & Writers Magazine named Guerrero one of its 10 top debut poets in 2014.
Hernandez is an award-winning author and performance artist. His debut collection of poetry, “Skin Tax,” received the 2006 American Book Award and his novel, “Breathing In Dust,” won the 2010 Premio Aztlán Prize. In 2011, the Poetry Society of America named him one of 16 New American Poets.
