THIS WEEK ON LATINOPIA: NORA NARANJO READS “MY FATHER’S FEET,” ZOMBIE MEX DIARIES “MY FATHER DAY- NOT.” RICARDO ROMO ON THREE VOICES, ONE HEART EXHIBIT, AND ANDREA GUTIERREZ READS “I REMEMBER.”
It’s Father’s Day Weekend again! We celebrate with a poem by New Mexico poet Nora Naranjo as she reads “My Father’s Feet.” Nora is an acclaimed poet and this poem reminds us of the sacrifices fathers daily make for their children.
Also in celebration of Father’s Day, we wondered what Father’s Day might be like for a Zombie. Heck, do Zombies even celebrate Father’s Day? Well read this remembrance by a young zombie to find out one zombie’s way of handling Father’s Day.
Ricardo Romo’s Tejano Report this week looks at a new exhibit at the Boulder Colorado Museum of Art. The exhibit titled Tres Voces, Un Corazón / Three Voices, One Heart celebrates the art of a father, wife and son family, all of whom are artists in this three person art show. As you peruse Ricardo’s essay and the accompanying art you will see how three different artists from the same family express themselves artistically, each in their own unique way. Pretty cool array.
And last but not least, poet Andrea Gutierrez reads her poem “I Remember,” which recalls her childhood along the Texas Mexico border.
Enjoy your week on Latinopia!
