Latino Literature Meets Clinic- Poetry and Fiction in Murals

Proud to share how my other half, Dr. Cyrus,  is bringing literacy to the clinic experience, collaborating with muralists. See Ruben Dario’s poem A Margarita Debayle (To Margarita Debayle)  put into mural form in a pediatric clinic waiting room in Washington Heights, New York City, a predominately Latino neighborhood that now sees itself reflected on clinic walls and storytelling. A great follow-up to his Inwood mural project that brought Julia Alvarez’s The Secret Footprints to life to another pediatric clinic with graffiti artist legends.
