Diana García is a poet who grew up in the agricultural community of Merced, California. Her poetry often deals with the lives of farmworkers as well as feminist and family themes. In September of 2010 she read passages from her eight-part poem “Bittersweet Harvest,” an homage to the lives of Mexican field hands during the bracero program of the 1950s, at the USC Flor y Canto Literary Festival. Latinopia is proud to showcase her reading here.
