Listen in on an oral history conversation with poet and American Book Award recipient Reyna Grande, interviewed by Ae Hee Lee '17 MFA, as part of the Letras Latinas Oral History Project. Discover Grande’s artistic journey to traverse The Distance Between Us she wrote about in her memoir of the same name. A poet, memoirist, and novelist, Reyna discusses how fairy tales helped her understand the difficult choices her father faced in her young life, how building community is foundational to the success of Latina writers, and the ways writing about her life has helped her find a home within herself no matter where she is in the world.
