Saturday, March 10th, 2007, was the presentation of my book "Streetwise Poems / Poemas callejeros" (Mayapple Press, Michigan, 2007) at Aguijón Theater (2707 N. Laramie, Chicago). It was a very special evening full of happiness and magical moments. Thanks to all the friends and family members who accompanied me, especially my husband Wilfredo, my sister Vivian who came from Puerto Rico, and to Rosario and Augusto from Aguijón Theater.
