Raw Silk On A Sunny Day

This afternoon was a sun-filled day to devour. I jumped in a cab and headed over to Poet Lisa Alvarado's home to do an interview for our Proyecto Latina Radio Show. She had just finished trimming her black hair her radiant smile greeted me. I was a little nervous because this was the first time I was using my fabulously red tape recorder. Record, Stop, Pause went the little tape recorder.

Lisa told me about her new book Raw Silk Suture which will be released by Flor y Canto Press in September. She is also having a book release party on Sept. 20 at Decima Musa in Pilsen. It sounds like a blast! If you want to hear more about Lisa's journey as a poet in Chicago you will have to tune in to the Proyecto Latina Radio Show to be launched this September. We ended the interview by going to a little pastry shop called Crema that was absolutely sinful.
