July’s featured readers are part of -La Libreta-.

“Women in Creative Rebellion presented by Robleswrites Productions, Inc. and founded by Peggy Robles-Alvarado is an extension of what began in 2013 as an annual poetry and networking event in the Bronx to celebrate the creativity of intergenerational women of color.

After curating several original and thought-provoking women-centered literary events that provided a platform for emerging and established writers throughout New York City, Women in Creative Rebellion is expanding beyond its Bronx borders with -La Libreta-.

-La Libreta- is an online poetry journal that publishes poetry, audio performances, and artwork by emerging and established writers and artists of color who identify as women from the Bronx and beyond.”
