Today we have a conversation with poet, storyteller, and essayist Roberto Carlos Garcia that we are excited to share with you. This interview took place on October 7, 2023, via Zoom.
In a sense, this is a follow up to the season 2 episode, Afro-Latinidad and Literature: Afro-Latinx Poetry in which, along with We Are Owed by Ariana Brown and Love is Hard Work by Miguel Algarín, we discussed García’s poetry collection black/Maybe: An Afro Lyric. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to that episode yet, we recommend going and checking it out after you’re finished with this episode.
Before we start the interview, we will include a bit of background on Garcia including his education, publications, awards, and other projects. Finally, we wrap up the episode with our thoughts on the conversation along with some personal recommendations of specific poems from Garcia’s anthology collection What Can I Tell You?
