Sheila Maldonado reads poems from her second book, that's what you get (2021), and a manuscript in progress titled bloodletters. Many of the poems incorporate visual components, and primary themes include New York City, Honduran heritage, and ancient Mayan culture. This reading was given as part of the Letras Latinas 20th Anniversary Reading with Gina Franco and Edgar Garcia.
In this bilingual Spanish and English reading, Balam Rodrigo reads from Libro Centroamericano de los muertos / Central American Book of the Dead (2022), which recounts the lives and violent deaths of migrants crossing through Chiapas, Mexico, memorializing their suffering as they journeyed north. English translations by Dan Bellm are read by Alison Hawthorne Deming.
