William Archila’s Canícula/Dog Days is a bilingual selection of his first two books of poetry that chart the emergence of a newcomer in the chorus of Latine Poetry. Canícula, which means “dog days” in English, takes the reader on a poignant journey from the unrest in El Salvador in the 1980s to the urban landscape of the US immigrant. The author will be joined by Omar Bárcena, Mariano Zaro, and Carolina Rivera Escamilla in The Wanda Coleman Theater for readings in English and Spanish.
