Rich Smith has written of the Washington State Poet Laureate Claudia Castro Luna's epic poetry collection, which addresses the murders of women in Juarez named María: "Luna's lyrics champion feminine strength, challenge masculine violence, and offer some succor in a rough desert." This year, Castro Luna will read from the book, and Seattle Times journalists Corinne Chin and Erika Schulz will discuss their work reporting on violence against women at the US-Mexico border.
