Dainerys Machado Vento, a graduate student in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, is among the promising young writers honored by the prestigious Granta literary magazine.
When the pandemic started in March 2020, Dainerys Machado Vento, a graduate student in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the University of Miami, was co-teaching an interdisciplinary curatorial course.
Lillian Manzor, an associate professor in the department who was teaching the course with her, remembers that when the students shared their situations and their feelings of uncertainty and discouragement, Machado Vento would tell them repeatedly, “remember that there is poetry and art to help us through these difficult moments.”
