Mid-Sentence | Kali Fajardo-Anstine with Ivelisse Rodriguez

Short stories of feminine power that blaze like Rocky Mountain sunsets. 

Latinas of Indigenous descent living in the heart of the American West are the central characters in Kali Fajardo-Anstine’s debut story collection, Sabrina and Corina. The themes at play include meditations on friendship, the relationships between mothers and daughters, and the deep roots that grow at home. 

Kali Fajardo-Anstine's fiction has appeared in The American Scholar, Boston Review, Bellevue Literary Review, The Idaho Review, Southwestern American Literature, and she has received fellowships from MacDowell Colony, the Corporation of Yaddo, Hedgebrook, and Hub City Press. Ivelisse Rodriguez, author of the PEN/Faulkner award finalist Love War Stories, joins her for a conversation on how the book came to be.

Mid-Sentence presents a series of conversations with groundbreaking literary voices. Indie authors and cult favorites explore the intersections between literature and lived experience.
