Del Valle has also made her mark outside the world of poetry. Her one-woman show "The Insecurities of an Eagle" won an Audience Favorite Award at NYC's 3rd Annual Downtown Urban Theatre Festival, and she recently premiered an excerpt of a new show "Salida" as part of the Living Word Festival, while an Artist in Residence with Youth Speaks.
