Our show is this week! We can’t wait for you to hear our storytellers trade “Passage” true tales on stage. The show is free but please RSVP here.

Meet our final storyteller Anda Totoreanu below, who we first met as a Prom Queens: Celebrating Prom Poems & Stories by Queens Writers contributor. Read her poem “Firetruck Red” in the anthology and learn more about Anda below (pictured right, next to Prom Queens partner Aida Zilelian).

Anda Totoreanu is an immigrant, poet, immigration lawyer, choral singer, and lover of all things outdoors. Her poems have been published by The Poetry Society of New York, Pandemic Poems, Gravel Literary Journal, and Poets of Queens. She has also published work in several academic journals for her research on minority rights and conflict resolution. Anda’s poetry explores themes of (self) love, loss, vulnerability, family, identity, coming to terms with the past, living in the present, and the peace of finding oneself in nature. You can find many of her poems at instagram.com/poemsbyanda/. She received her creative writing minor from Lafayette College.

THIS IS AN OFFICIAL 2026 BROOKLYN BOOK FESTIVAL BOOKEND EVENT.
