Reading at LAUGHS AND LIT

Posted on by mariaminguezarias

Aunt Lute Books and Medicine for Nighstmares Bookstore and Galería hosted the last event of my ”Naming the Body: A Queer Woman’s Restorative Mapping of the Self” PRIDE MONTH TOUR. I have no idea how this happened, but I ended up sharing a wonderful community space with so many writers whose work I admire. It was truly special to share the mic with Kim Shuck, Ajuan Mance, Ginny Berson, and Antmen Pimentel Mendoza. We brought THE LIT 📚 and MCs Charlie Jane Sanders and Baruch Porras Hernandez, THE LAUGHS 🤪. Feeling grateful 🥹🙏🏼.

Book LAUNCH in San Francisco

Hubo duende and a lot of xingonería at the QUEEREST.LIBRARY.EVER: the Hormel LGBTQI+ Center at the San Francisco Public Library. Our event TU PALABRA Y MI CUERPO DE LENCHA / YOUR WORD AND MY DYKE BODY was everything we had hoped for, and then some 😊. We might be taking this show on the road Maribel Martinezx y Liliana Hueso. The naming of ourselves is barely getting started 🔥🔥🔥

We are incredible grateful for everyone who showed up and shared such a beautiful space and conversation with us. We are specially thankful to librarian and program manager Cristina Mitra for her flawless support and logistics, to the Friends of the SFPL NiebleSF for their sponsorship, and to NieblaSF bookstore for their vending.

So much orgullo queer xingonero 🥹

Banter Bookstore put together a lovely setting and family, friends, and new faces from the community showed up. That was truly special. I felt at home, because I was 🫣. It was magical to finally be able to share “Naming the Body: A Queer Woman’s Restorative Mapping of the Self” (Mouthfeel Press, 2026) with my English speaking community. Books sold out 🫢. Thank you! Gracias! Obrigada! Me voy a dormir con el corazón colmado ❤️🥹

The local queer author meet and greet at our city’s Pride Fair was fun. We signed books, chat with new readers, and I got to meet talented Lio Min, Nidhi Chanani, and MariNaomi! Thank you City of Fremont and Alameda County Public Libraries for including “Naming the Body: A Queer Woman’s Restorative Mapping of the Self” in your Pride programming ❤️
