On August 29, 2009,
the Canada Cuba Literary
Alliance
celebrated its Second Literary Festival in Holguín,
parallel
to the one held early this month in Canada.
The cultural meeting took place under the auspices of the
Villena-Botev Library Cultural Center and thanks to the ingenuity
and organizing capacity of Joaquín Osorio.
This CCLA devoted friend
helped orchestrate an afternoon
of luxury. A group of leading poets
of the city joined the
CCLA delegation— Miriam, Wency, Adonay and
Manuel—
to read poetry and to listen to the music of Eliezer Travieso,
the best guitarist in town. |
