016 – Eating Fire with Jose Hernandez Diaz

We’re eating fire with poet Jose Hernandez Diaz

Jose Hernandez Diaz is a 2017 NEA Poetry Fellow. He holds degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, and Antioch University Los Angeles. His work appears in The Best American Nonrequired Reading, Green Mountains Review, Huizache, New Orleans Review, North American Review, The Progressive, Witness, among others. He has served as an editor for Floricanto Press and Lunch Ticket. His manuscript was a finalist for the 2018 Andrés Montoya Poetry Prize.

We’ll be talking astrology, Frida Kahlo, and the different definitions of “pocho.” 

We’ll start with a clip of Jose Hernandez’s poetry, then we’ll transition to an interview Karla just did with Hernandez Diaz, some conversation from us, and finally we’ll get to what we’re reading and some thoughts for the road.
