El Hispanic News has a nice piece online that features folks from OSU: Los Porteños: Building Bridges with Words. Los Porteños is a group of Latin@ writers in Oregon. In the article, they discuss the advantages of being able to share their writing with other authors who are bilingual and bicultural (if not multilingual and multicultural). They are preparing for an upcoming performance, WORDS THAT BURN, September 25-28, at Milagro in Portland. It’ll be part of La Luna Nueva Multidisciplinary Arts Festival.
