Manage episode 375056623 series 1272694
Tamarindo is still on summer break and this week we are revisiting our conversation with Dr. Ana Castillo.
But first, we want to invite you to: Encuentro: A retreat for podcasters & cultural creators.
Join Brenda and retreat co-host, Delsy Sandoval in Puebla, Mexico February 15 - 19, 2024 for an unforgettable journey of empowerment, creativity, and cultural celebration. More than a retreat, this is an invitation to be part of a transformative experience intended to have a lasting impact on your life, work, and passions. We’re currently accepting interest forms, due August 31, 2023. Get all the details here: https://www.tamarindopodcast.com/encuentro
Writing when no one is telling our stories is a form of activism and bearing witness to our experiences. On this episode of Tamarindo, we talk to icon and writer, Dr. Ana Castillo, about why she writes, the evolution of her identity, and her latest book of poems, “My Book of the Dead” which is now available.
We also discuss what we hope for the future of our community, while we also pay homage to Latinx writers we lost this last year including Rudy Anaya who wrote the celebrated “Bless Me, Ultima” and Miguel Algarín, co-founder of the Nuyorican Poets Café.
Dr.Ana Castillo is a celebrated author of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and drama. Among her award-winning books are ”So Far from God,” “The Mixquiahuala Letters,” and “Massacre of the Dreamers: Essays on Xicanisma.” Born and raised in Chicago, Castillo now resides in southern New Mexico.
Stick around for a fun game called “Have you ever…” that y’all can join in on!
