Join CCCADI for our second We Lit event of 2025, as we welcome author (and CCCADI Board Member) Peggy Robles-Alvarado for an exploration of her new book “Burn Me Back”.
“Burn Me Back” is a collection of poems that transforms grief into resilience through what Robles-Alvarado calls working-class wisdom. Rooted in verbivocovisual poetics, Latina narrative and family lore, these poems navigate the Puerto Rican and Dominican Diasporas, colonialism, patriarchy, and displacement, while reclaiming memory and identity.
Multiple copies of “Burn Me Back” will be available for purchase. Stay tuned for more details!!
Also check out other Arts events in New York, Literary Art events in New York, Workshops in New York.
Tickets for We Lit: Feat. Peggy Robles-Alvarado can be booked here.
