Her two literary executors – Olga Garcia and Maylei Blackwell join us today to tell us more about her work and this exciting upcoming event – it’s called Mujer Peligrosa: Poetry and Life of tatiana de la tierra. This panel, on July 31 at the Altadena Library, brings together Tatiana’s literary executors, plus (virtually, all the way from Bogotá, Colombia) Rocío Del Pilar, Cely Herrera of Sincronia and Laura Arenas.
