In This Episode we introduce you to three poetry collections: Love Is Hard Work: Memorias de Loisaida, by Miguel Algarín, black/Maybe by Roberto Carlos Garcia, and We Are Owed., by Ariana Brown. In the main segment of our episode today we share a little bit of the history of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe and discuss Algarín’s role as one of its founding poets. Then we analyze Brown’s inclusion of Gaspar Yanga as a subject of some of her poems. After that we move on to discuss the Spanish casta system as seen by Garcia and systemic anti-blackness along with US imperialism in regards to how Blackness is perceived. This ties directly into our final topic on confronting anti-blackness and how these poets do so with their words. As usual, we will wrap up the episode with a few recommendations of literary works, both poetry and prose, by other Afro-Latinx authors.
