  • Brown Bag Talk with Holly Iglesias on March 5

    Posted: Monday, March 2 Iglesias will be reading from "Fruta Bomba," a chapbook of poems, the middle section of a full-length collection tentatively entitled "The Sturdy Child of Terror."

    The title is drawn from Winston Churchill's final speech to the House of Commons in 1955 in which he describes the tensions of the Cold War as "a stage in this story where safety will be the sturdy child of terror, and survival the twin brother of annihilation."  The poems in Fruta Bomba draw on Dr. Iglesias'  experiences as a young adult in the 1970s among the Cuban exile community in Miami, which by the end of that decade was identified by the FBI as the terrorist capital of the United States. Miami—lush, seductive, drop-dead gorgeous.

    The Brown Bag Talk will be held from 12:30-1:30 on Thursday, March 5 in Ramsey Library's Special Collections. Feel free to bring your lunch. Light refreshments will be served.
