Tacoma Reads

Tacoma Reads is a city-wide reading program that seeks to unite the community in dialogue around contemporary themes through reading a common text. Read the Book. Join the conversation. #tacomareads On Saturday, Jan. 9, 2021, author of "Children of the Land" Marcelo Hernandez Castillo was interviewed by City of Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards via Zoom webinar as the keynote event for Tacoma Reads. The event opened with remarks by Tacoma Public Library Director Kate Larsen along with a recorded performance from Tacoma Refugee Choir and Symphony Tacoma. Emcee Antonio "Tony" Gómez helped to facilitate a meaningful virtual event with an in-depth discussion of "Children of the Land," immigration issues in Tacoma and the nation, and even a reading of Castillo's poem "Cenzontle." Marcelo Hernandez Castillo is a poet, essayist, translator, and immigration advocate. His memoir Children of the Land (Harper Collins, 2020) is his most recent publication and explores the ideas of separation from deportation, trauma, and mobility between borders. Children of the Land is an unforgettable memoir about growing up undocumented in the United States. The novel recounts the sorrows and joys of a family torn apart by draconian policies and chronicles one young man’s attempt to build a future in a nation that denies his existence.
