Corridas, Cumbias & Chicana Poetics Embodiment of Cultural Trauma and Resilience. May 2021.
Following foremothers including Gloria Anzaldúa, Cherríe Moraga, Ana Castillo, and Sandra Cisneros, seven Chicana poets from across the US discuss their interdisciplinary influences and how their intersectional Chicanx poetics articulate tensions arising from their focus on the Chicanx body in the face of cultural trauma and resilience. They will discuss how the development of their selves, writing, and histories are necessary, connected, and central to the future of Chicanx literature.
