In a trilingual collection--presented in Nahuatl, Spanish, and English--Joaquin Zihuatenejo unflinchingly captures the duality of immigrant experiences in the United States.
Picking up where his previous collection, Occupy Whiteness, left off, Immigrant pays homage to the languages of Zihuatenejo's lineage: the language his grandfather's grandfather spoke in, the language his abuelo prayed in, and the language he himself writes in today. Sometimes brutal, always honest, these poems of witness explore what it means to cross over--and to be double-crossed.
Joaquin Zihuatanejo is a poet, spoken word artist, and award-winning teacher. Born and raised in the barrio of East Dallas, Joaquín strives to capture the duality of Chicano culture in his work. He's been called "one of the most dynamic and passionate performance poets in the country, melding equal parts comedy, poetry, and dramatic monologue into a crowd-pleasing display of verbal fireworks." Joaquin was a National Poetry Slam Finalist, a Grand Slam Spoken Word Champion, and HBO Def Poet, performing at universities, conferences and poetry slams all over North America and Europe.
