Lucia V. Delgado is a Chicago-based writer and educator.  She received her B.A. in Honors English from the University of Texas at Austin, where she wrote her undergraduate thesis on language use in borderlands literature. She then moved to Illinois to pursue an M.A. from the University of Chicago.

 

Having been raised on both sides of the Río Grande, and hailing from a family that long predates the border, Lucia wrote Of the River in an effort to explain where she comes from.
