In this talk rooted in the Latinx and Caribbean joy that exploded from Bad Bunny’s 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, writers from across the Caribbean join us to discuss the ways they are constructing identity within and without the diaspora and maintaining their roots through the publication of their creative work. Moderated by Executive Director of the Bronx Book Festival Saraciea Fennell this discussion features PEN America Board member and author Esmeralda Santiago (Las Madres), award-winning novelist Angie Cruz (How Not to Drown in a Glass of Water), and debut author Justin Haynes (Ibis).
