- Red Hot Salsa: Bilingual Poems on Being Young and Latino in the United States
Summary
- Editor and translator Lori Marie Carlson discussed her new book, "Red Hot Salsa: Bilingual Poems on Being Young and Latino in the United States," in honor of the Library's celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month. Luis Alberto Ambroggio and Claudia Quiroz Cahill, two of the poets who contributed to "Red Hot Salsa," read their poems. In his introduction to the book, award-winning author Oscar Hijuelos describes the contributions of the writers in the volume: "Their intense feelings about survival and 'becoming' are palpable on the page. And the Spanish/English versions of their poetry are equally beautiful, stirring and worthy of our humanity."
