The way Hernández-Linares shares her stories speaks to the hybridity of the cultural and literary histories she hails from. Hernández-Linares's poemsongs are her personal flor y canto. Mexican and Central American indigenous ancestors combined the concepts \"in xochitl, in cuicatl\" (in flower, in song) to define poetry--the poetic oral tradition they used to teach, engage, and philosophize. Hernández-Linares's writing excavates the faces of women in her family, silences in her community, and shapes their stories into a poetry that sings, and other times dances on the page. \"I am cut from Santa Ana, El Salvador mujer steel, y qué orgullo,\" says Hernández-Linares.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLETICIA HERNÁNDEZ-LINARES\u003c\/b\u003e, an award-winning writer and community leader, has performed her teatro-infused poemsongs throughout the country and in El Salvador.
