Episodio 701: Acercándonos a escritoras - Dailihana Alfonseca

Dailihana Alfonseca (Puerto Rico–United States) comes to Hablemos escritoras with her passion for language, poetry, and life itself. With a fascinating trajectory, she studied in the military, worked in the fashion industry, and now writes about her family history and what it means to be Puerto Rican in the United States. Her work brings together multiple worlds. From the perspective of migration, she explores intergenerational relationships among women, and how grandmother, mother, and daughter confront the vast city, an unfamiliar climate, and the gaze of others. She was awarded the Robert J. Dau Prize for Emerging Writers (2023) for “Spanish Soap Operas Killed My Mother,” a beautiful piece in which poetry and prose intertwine.
