Minerva Laveaga and Lau Cesarco Eglin helped create the independent literary press, Veliz Books. They join us on this program to tell us how their backgrounds as writers and publishers have helped contribute to this promising endeavor. Veliz has published Paul Pedroza's 'And the Dead will Rise and Save Us,' and will also release Jeff Sirkin's 'Travelers Aid Society.'
Lau will read a poem from Sirkin's poetry collection to close out the program.
