Hecha en México, Norma Liliana Valdez made her way to California in her mother’s pregnant belly. She is an alumna of the VONA/Voices Writing Workshop, the Writing Program at UC Berkeley Extension, and was a 2014 Hedgebrook writer-in-residence. A member of the Macondo Writers’ Workshop and a CantoMundo fellow, her poems appear in Calyx, Huizache, Tinderbox Poetry Journal, and Latinas: Struggles & Protests in 21st Century USA, among others.
In this lush and raw account, musicians play, voices harmonize and then separate again, town after Alaska town rolls by... and Waterfield searches for home.
