Poet Gustavo Hernandez on Flower Grand First

Apr 4

Tuesday, April 4, 2023. This week on Bibliocracy Radio, poet Gustavo Hernandez, author of a debut poetry collection, Flower Grand First. The reference is to streets in Santa Ana, California, but the collection's broader ambitions, to memoir, queer coming-of-age story, Mexican immigrant family chronicle, and politics, are vividly realized in short, complex and, ultimately, reconciling poems with an emphasis on people and place, past and present. Thanks for supporting listener-supported Pacifica Radio KPFK 90.7 FM for all of Southern California.
