Episode 21: Alonso Llerena on Solmaz Sharif, Peru's Armed Internal Conflict, and Being a Poet - a podcast by C. R. Grimmer

YouTube Edition of this episode: (https://youtu.be/b0xlsP_cW8M). This is the podcast version of my longer chat with poet and teacher Alonso Llerena, who you might recognize as a guest on the Flash Briefings! For the full episode, links and references, visuals of the reading materials, and more, check out the YouTube version. I promise the added visuals and sound effects are a worthwhile addition. For my podcast friends, though, listen in, listen well, learn deeply. More on Alonso Llerena -- Alonso is a poet and teacher in Washington D.C. of Peruvian descent. His work confronts being an immigrant here in the USA, but specifically as a Peruvian who left his country at a young age. His most recent work also addresses the Internal Armed Conflict Peru underwent from 1980-2000. ?
