The poem “Erick Zambrano’s Sculptural Composition of Gendered Visceral and Cerebral Abstraction” birthed from an exhibit during Latino Art Now! 2019. Most of Zambrano’s small sculptures were entitled with the same gender, but there was a large sculpture called Tejida, Tejido, Tejide. The shift in scale seemed representative of gender inclusivity, hence why this poem makes effort to focus on the subject.

What Sparks Poetry:
Katey Funderbergh and Nicholas Ritter on Building Community
"This program proves to me, again and again, that poetry is a liberatory force. Prisons shouldn’t exist, but each time I’m in the classroom with our students, I remember that this craft is an avenue for free expression and self-exploration. The poems allow me to connect with the students, to share my own memories, dreams, struggles, and to relate to them about both the content of the poems we read, and the content of the poems they write." |
