It is a great honor to share that Huizache Literary Magazine has published my essay, The Making of an Angel. I've been such a fan of writer/editor, Dagoberto Gilb, and his tremendous work and so it is a special thrill to be included with these stellar writers. Now I can finally buy one of those "Huizachera" T-shirts and wear it proudly! Ajua!
Without revealing too much, my essay is about postmortem children's photography and my family's connection to this practice. It shows a riveting picture of my Tía Consuelo when she was 14 years old and her baby as well as some historical photos by the prolific photographer, Juan de Dios Machain. This essay was so hard to write and written through many tears. It is part of my continued necessary process to use my art to heal from the loss of my sweet girl. I feel so grateful that it would find a home in Huizache #6.
