I went to a reception to celebrate the publication of a book of poetry by Maria Gomez Lara, who’s seventeen. Her book is called Preguntas para el Azar, which translates roughly to Questions about Chance (or Luck, or Randomness, or Fate). The reception was held in an old colonial house in La Candelaria called Case Poesia de Silva (Silva Poetry House), named after a famous Colombian poet. They have all kinds of readings and 
receptions and seminars there, and Maria goes frequently to their happenings.
Oh, did I mention that she was my student this year?
