A New Perspective

Good morning, afternoon, and or evening depending on when you are reading this. Welcome back! Today I thought we would do something a bit different on the podcast. I currently am studying English on the track of Creative Writing with a concentration on poetry so, I thought I would present some of my recent work. Both works "Planchando Tortillas" & "Drunken, Whispered Stories" are two poems of my parents. Both were inspired from James Brown's short story "My Papa's Waltz" from his memoir The Los Angeles Diaries where he transforms an old event; one he found embarrassing, into a new and beautiful moment now, with his new perspective on things. Thank you so much for tuning back!
