Imogen Arate with Rosaura Magana by Poets and Muses

This week, Rosaura (https://www.instagram.com/palabras_bookstore/) and I (https://poetsandmuses.com/imogen-arate/) discuss our respective poems, "Rosaura Magaña" and "Confinement," the significance of a name and our American identities.

If #RosauraMagaña rings a bell, that's because she and #PalabrasBookstore (https://www.facebook.com/Palabrasbookstore/) were recently featured in KJZZ's "Phoenix's Palabras Bilingual Bookstore Celebrates People Of Color"(http://kjzz.org/content/895476/phoenixs-palabras-bilingual-bookstore-celebrates-people-color).

Come see us at the Heard Museum's Books | Beats | Bites event on May 11th (10a-4p): https://heard.org/event/second-saturdays-books-beats-bites/!

Take a listen to also find out #poetryevents taking place in the valley during the week of April 29th.
