Professional Creative Writing Instructor Partricia Dubrava's piece "A Translation Journey" was featured by Cagibi, detailing her important work translating literary pieces from Spanish to English.
"I bring amazing poems and stories into English. I give marketing support to writers, to Mexican writing, to American readers, add threads of enrichment to the weave of world literature."
Is Cagibi a woman's literary space? I don't sense much of a male presence here. Are we not welcome? I even get a sense of wealth and privilege.... If I am wrong, I apologize for my misreading.
“I caught her once pressing her lips on a poster of him, with his lips slightly parted—his face blown up so much that my sister was only kissing the bottom part of his lip. The scene was so magnificently odd, so etched with embarrassment for me at witnessing this intimate, sacred moment between Ate and her poster, that the whole scene is incredibly vivid in my memory. When I remember that moment, I am nine again, looking through a door ajar, my heart racing, careful to keep my breathing even, preserving my presence. In that moment, I am innocent and pure, untainted by wickedness. I come back to that place often.”
