SUMMARY:Palabra Pura: Latinidad-Who are we? Latino Poets on Identity
DESCRIPTION:For featured authors Diego Báez and Amy Sayre Baptista\, violence inhabits their lives and what they write about. This is a violence that divides our culture and us; this is a colonization of our identity as a man\, as a woman\, and as a Latina/o. What does it mean to be Latina/o? These poets sing compelling stories about the lives of men and women navigating a changing landscape of language\, culture\, and the physical body. Their passion is for the experiences of the unheard\, the misunderstood\, and the undervalued. They manifest political\, historical\, and secret stories with vehement compassion and grace. \nThis month’s program is coordinated by Ruben Quesada. \nAll “mother” tongues are welcome! Arrive early to sign up for the open mic. \nPalabra Pura is pay-what-you-can ($5 suggested donation). Audience contributions support honorariums for the curators and featured authors. \n  \nABOUT OUR FEATURED AUTHORS \nDiego Báez grew up in Bloomington\, Illinois\, and graduated with an MFA in Creative Writing from Rutgers University – Newark.
