My Dreamy Night Reading Martín Espada
After a delicious meal at my roommate Nia's side of our duplex (chickpea fritters and lentil soup), my roommate Jessi and I sat out on the porch in the warm spring night, sipped wine, and read aloud Imagine the Angels of Bread, an incredible volume of poetry by Martín Espada. Espada's poems combine humor and horror examining racism, domestic violence, and class divisions through an extraordinary personal lens. Well worth checking out! He also appears to be doing readings all over the country so you should go!
