READ TO ME talks to... Mauricio Novoa

Published: Aug. 20, 2021, 4:01 a.m.

On READ TO ME, we practice the most fundamental skill for excellent writing \u2014 how to listen for what works on the page. (And then understand why.)

Today, we get to listen to the talented, generous, and so so so so smart poet MAURICIO NOVOA. His debut collection MEMORIAS FROM THE BELTWAY explores "themes of working-class survivalism and ingenuity, spiritual tenacity, hip hop articulations, and el exilio," per his co-publishers, FlowerSong Press and Red Salmon Press. In conversation, Mauricio is humble about himself but brilliant about the work.\xa0 \xa0
