Benitez, a Minnesota resident, is the author of five books, including "The Weight of All Things," "A Place Where the Sea Remembers," and "Bitter Grounds." She has received more than two dozen awards for literary merit. The daughter of a Puerto Rican mother and an Anglo-American father, Benitez has moved between Latin and American cultures her entire life. She learned to discover the joys of life even among hard times when she lived in El Salvador, and learned the merit and accomplishment of hard work and industry while living on her grandparents farm in Missouri. Benitez has lectured nationally and her novels, particularly "A Place Where the Sea Remembers," are used extensively in classrooms throughout the country.
The Heginbotham Literary Lecture Series is made possible by private donors who established an endowment to honor Dr. Eleanor Heginbotham and her distinguished record of teaching and scholarship at CSP as well as her many contributions to the literary community in the Twin Cities. Heginbotham is a professor emeritus of English and Modern Languages, an award-winning Emily Dickinson expert and a Senior Fulbright Scholar who served at Concordia for 10 years until her retirement in 2004.
