Reading poetry with Benjamin Anaya at Radio Cosmos

Erika nació en Buenos Aires, Argentina, una mañana soleada, un  2 de agosto.

Vivió hasta los diecinueve en su patria. Se destacaba en todo los referente al arte y política estudiantil, participaba en muchas protestas y estaba enamorada de la bohemia que aquella ciudad le ofrecía con sus cafés, parques con murguistas, libros, artesanías, teatro, música y argentinidad.

En el año 2000 se muda a Chicago, EE.UU. con la idea de darle un giro a su vida. En Chicago tuvo la suerte de toparse con una comunidad creativa que ha logrado revivir ese volcán que lleva dentro, esa necesidad de expresarse, escribir para transmitir su cosmovisión, que son parte de su cultura argentina fusionada con su vivencia estadounidense como inmigrante hispanohablante. Erika escribe desde hace rato pero ha decidido abrir éste blog al contar con las siguintes herramientas necesarias para hacerlo: La inseguridad, la falta de compromiso y la vagancia.  Su amigo Pablo coincide con que estas herramientas ” son requisitos fundamentales para abrir un blog”. Espero que disfruten el contenido del mismo.

Erika was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina a sunny morning of August 2nd. She lived there until turning twenty years of age.  She used to be involved in the arts and students protests.  She was in love with the Buenos Aires bohemian spirit, its coffee shops, recreational parks with groups of murguistas, books, art crafts, theater, music and the essence of Argentina.

In 2000, she moved to the city of Chicago, U.S., with the idea of trying new things in life.  Once in Chicago, she was lucky to find a creative community that revived that volcano she carried inside, the need to express herself through writing as an outlet to reveal her world view, which is the combination of being an Argentinean  and an immigrant living in the U.S. Erika has been writing for a while but she decided to open her own blog once she realized that part of the requirement to launch one was to have the following conditions: being insecure,  uncompromising and apathetic.  According to her friend Pablo “these three conditions are the basic requirements  for a blog.” I hope you all enjoy whatever I make out of this blog adventure.
