DESCRIPTION:Tue, Jan 19, 6-7:30pm Pacific time\n\nKPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents:\n\nPoets 
 Martin Espada & Dennis Bernstein: A Zoom Event\nFloaters\n\nMARTIN ESPADA, 
 a poet who stirs our social consciousness, has published twenty books as a 
 poet, editor, essayist and translator, including Vivas To Those Who Have 
 Failed and Pulitzer Prize finalist The Republic of Poetry. \n\nHis latest 
 book, Floaters, offers exuberant odes and defiant elegies, songs of protest 
 and songs of love.  The title is a term used by some Border Patrol agents 
 to describe migrants who drown trying to cross over the border.  Espada 
 bears eloquent witness to  confrontations with anti-immigrant bigotry. He 
 also knows that times of hate call for poems of love. Whether celebrating 
 the visionaries - the fallen dreamers, rebels, and poets - or condemning 
 the outrageous governmental neglect of his father's Puerto Rico in the wake 
 of Hurricane Maria, Espada invokes ferocious, incandescent spirits. 
 \n\nDENNIS BERNSTEIN , a poet and investigative journalist, is the producer 
 of Flashpoints (heard weekdays at 5pm on KPFA Radio 94.1 FM. His political 
 essays have appeared in numerous newspapers, magazines and websites. His 
 latest book of poems is Five Oceans in a Teaspoon, with typographic 
 visualizations by Warren Lehrer. The poems in it reflect the struggle of 
 everyday people trying to survive in the face of adversity. It spans a 
 single lifetime: from growing up confused by dyslexia to becoming a 
 frontline witness to war and its aftermath, to prison, street life, 
 poverty, love and loss, to open heart surgery. Five Oceans in a Teaspoon 
 speaks to the madness, vulnerability, aspiration and language of our time. 
 The raw emotion of the writing has a freshness rarely encountered.  The 
 book was a winner for Poetry in the 2020 Best Book Awards/American Book 
 Fest, and a finalist in the International Book award for 
 Poetry.\n\nSuggested Donation $1-$20.\n
