She became a cultural writer for the Chicago Tribune in 1991. She has also been a freelance entertainment writer. Her poetry has appeared in a number of journals, including Conditions, Revista Chicano-Rique, and The Beloit Poetry Journal. Her short stories have also been widely published in journals and anthologies. Her novels include We Came All the Way from Cuba So You Could Dress Like This? (1994) and Memory Mambo (1996). The Cuba of her imagination has appeared throughout her works, and she revisited Cuba at age 39. She has served as a writer-in-residence at Yaddo, Ragdale, the Virginia Center for the Arts, and the University of Hawaii. She is the Sor Juana visiting writer at DePaul University, a position she has held since 2006. She also writes a blog called Citylife: Adventures in Urban Living for Chicago Public Media.
