The evening will also feature a live performance by singer-songwriter Natalee. The spring issue includes a major portfolio of Central American and Mexican Diaspora writing, edited by AGNI’s associate poetry editor Esteban Rodríguez, AGNI assistant fiction editor Ben Black, and guest editor Jennifer De Leon—in addition to nonfiction by Lia Purpura and Qais Akbar Omar, fiction by Urvi Kumbhat and Aidan O’Brien, and poetry by Mosab Abu Toha, Daniel Borzutzky, and Mercè Rodoreda (in Rebecca Simpson’s translation). Cover art by Diego Isaias Hernández Méndez, Guatemala’s “accidental painter.”
