CTN Peer Mentor, Ire’ne Lara Silva, published her short story titled “Song of the Burning Woman” in the Winter/Spring issue of Alaska Quarterly Review. Next month, AQR’s Youtube channel will feature a reading and conversation with Ire’ne and May-Lee Chai.

Alaska Quarterly Review is one of America’s premier literary magazines and a source of powerful, new voices. It is published twice a year in both print and digital editions and maintains partnerships with the Center for the Narrative and Lyric Arts and the Anchorage Museum.

Lara Silva will join a panel of authors who will share their own triumphs and struggles at Third Thursday which is hosted by the Writers’ League of Texas on February 16, in Austin.

Third Thursday features discussions focusing on specific topics of interest to writers and readers, bringing together distinguished panelists for conversations moderated by a WLT staff member.
