Nuyorican poet Sandra Maria Esteves to lead Bronx writing workshop tomorrow


Acentos Writers Workshops Welcomes Sandra Maria Esteves

Acentos is doing something special every Sunday at Hostos Community college to promote writing and poetry. Acentos is offering dynamic workshops in the Bronx for free. Acentos offers participants the opportunity to work with some of the most well respected writers of our time. Writers like Sandra Maria Esteves who has blazed trails so wide and thick it made it just a little bit easier for Acentos to exist. This coming Sunday is not a day to miss.
