In honor of Women’s History Month, the Women’s & Gender Studies Program will host a Poetry Reading by Dr. Melissa Castillo Planas, Associate Professor from the English Department at Lehman College, CUNY, on Wednesday, March 23, at 11:00 a.m.
She will be reading from her new book Chingona Rules.
Chingona Rules is a handbook for resiliency and a radical love letter to unapologetic bodies that know “healing starts at the wound.” Melissa Castillo Planas proves we don’t have to bleed out in our poems in order to be heard, but if we choose to, we suture the wound and wear the scar proudly.
Members of the Lehman Community will also share some of their readings.
Wednesday, March 23, 2022 11:00am –12:15pm
