Hecho en casa

Hecho en casa is an annual literary event sponsored by Sigma Delta Pi and UK’s Department of Hispanic Studies. Graduate students and faculty members present jointly their unedited, literary pieces such as poems and short stories. We also plan on reaching out to the community and inviting local Hispanic artists to participate in the event. This year´s event took place on April 9 at the Niles Gallery. Elizabeth Amaya presented the history of the event. Josefina López read her poem “Paráfrasis… desde hoy”; Joshua Tweddell delivered a selection of his poems; and Alaina Houston recited “Las estaciones de la vida”; Dr. Rueda read her short story “Las migas de la mesa” and Dr. Stanton his rendering into Spanish of Nikki Finney´s poem “La casa del poeta.” A reception followed.
