Speaking Wiri Wiri and translating the immigrant experience.

Speaking Wiri Wiri and translating the immigrant experience.

Daniel talks with writer Dan Vera, whose newest collection of poems, "Speaking Wiri Wiri," is the recipient of the 2012 Letras Latinas/Red Hen Poetry Prize.  Dan explains the meaning of "wiri wiri."  He also explains how living in Washington D.C. has left him conflicted about the often-troubled history that literally surrounds him.  Hear about his experience growing up as a Cuban-American in south Texas, and why poets Eduardo Corral and Richard Blanco are to be praised for elevating the visibility of Latino literature &amp; poetry.  Dan also reads the poems "Tower of Babel" and "Playing Scrabble with Cousin Fela."  http://danvera.com
