We are so thrilled to share that Yo Soy is starting a Book Club!

From our first event, Fuego at Emerging Writers’ Festival, to our three (and counting!) publications, the Yo Soy Book Club feels like a natural progression in our programming.

Really, it has always been in the making, ticking away in the background waiting for the right time.

Now, for reasons that are many and obvious, storytelling, community connection, and collective memory making feel urgent and vital. Yo Soy Book Club is a place for community (and friends) to come together in celebration of Latinx literature, both from Abya Yala and across the diaspora.

We hope you’ll join us in August for our very first meeting, which will be held at Amplify Bookstore in West Melbourne. We’ll be reading and discussing the forthcoming Hailstones Fell Without Rain by Natalia Figueroa Barroso (UQP). We’re also excited to be co-presenting Natalia’s Melbourne launch with Amiga Mia.
