A bridge over the ocean

In this virtual exchange of correspondence Vanessa Vargas and Betina Barrios share their day to day experiences with each other. They remember moments lived when they were only a couple of miles apart and they still shared the same city skies. In the exchange of these digital letters they reveal ways in which they live as immigrants and how that influences their writing and the way they move. What supports them is their friendship, the bond that they have developed, the habit of reading and the sea.
