Author of "Tree of Sighs" to speak at Bluffton
Lucrecia Guerrero, winner of a national literary award for her 2011 novel, “Tree of Sighs,” will read from her work at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3, in Bluffton University’s Musselman Library.
Her first novel earned Guerrero the 2012 Premio Aztlán Literary Prize for emerging Latino authors. She is also the author of “Chasing Shadows,” a collection of short stories.
Guerrero grew up in Nogales, Ariz., on the Mexican border, in a bilingual, bicultural setting that is often reflected in her writing. She has spent much of her adult life in the Midwest and holds a master of fine arts degree in creative writing from Spalding University in Louisville, Ky.
