Daimys Ester is a Latinx writer, artist and educator from Miami. She earned her PhD in Comparative Literature at SUNY Binghamton, under the mentorship of María Lugones (until her passing), Birgit Brander Rasmussen, Giovanna Montenegro, Jennifer Stoever, and Walter Mignolo. She is currently an Assistant Professor in English at the College of Wooster, where her research and teaching is at the intersections of Latinx literatures & studies, Native literatures & studies, women of color feminisms, and decolonial praxis with a focus on coalitional politic. Her current book manuscript, Comfort is Colonialism: Coalitional Commitments for Cuban-American Women Writers, offers a repertoire of practices to re-connect Cuban-Americans with other histories of resistance in the US. Grounded in literature produced by Cuban-American women writers from the 1990s to the present, it tells the story of transformation from exiles living in isolation to immigrants who resist these traditions and imagine themselves in coalition with other minoritized groups in the US. Cries Across Time is at the cusp of re-emerging interests in Cuban-Americans within the complex dimensions of Latinex identity; it demands enactment of reconnection, mapping conceptual and intellectual frameworks that the literature reflects in order to makes explicit the yearning for others that is implied within them. Her essays have been published in Convivial Thinking and her poetry has been published in The Maynard and Chicana/Latina Studies.
