I'm not hard to find, though: faragon@nd.edu<br /><br />I reference this discussion at MAYDAY in my "Editor's Notes" for the second issue of Latino Poetry Review (LPR), which is almost complete and should be going live in a couple of weeks or so. I pose the question about the "negative review" in the Latino poetry community. As for Rosa Alcala, she is a contributing editor of LPR and I'll be seeing her tomorrow night: she's one of the four readers reading in the Chicago stop of The Wind Shifts: New Latino Poetry ON TOUR.<br /><br />Best,<br />FAFrancisco Aragónhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324802869512989420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348283351005310041.post-57867907560840512822009-05-19T12:32:00.000-05:002009-05-19T12:32:00.000-05:00Francisco,

Not hearing from you, I thought maybe you didn't wish to communicate-- but maybe that's not the case at all and there was a snafu? You might know Rosa Alcala, a poet I really like--I wish she would have contributed, too, but she had other commitments, and wasn't able.<br /><br />I agree that Daisy Fried's whole response there is great-- almost all of them are, I think. Another standout for me is Maureen McLane's.<br /><br />OK, thanks!<br /><br />KentKent Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15233688630151467658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3348283351005310041.post-60037983570497745662009-05-14T22:36:00.000-05:002009-05-14T22:36:00.000-05:00Francisco, this is an excellent summation of major...Francisco, this is an excellent summation of major points of this roundtable.
