Winner of the inaugural Letras Latinas/Red Hen Poetry Prize, Dan Vera s Speaking Wiri Wiri is a wry and insightful meditation on the lost history of Latinos in the United States, a lyric guidebook for navigating the complex realities of the contemporary Latino experience."
Winner of the inaugural Letras Latinas/Red Hen Poetry Prize, Dan Vera’s Speaking Wiri Wiri is a work of historical insight and wry wit, unexpectedly delightful and full of surprises as it meditates on the challenges of multiple identities, ethnicity, geographies of migration, familial displacement, popular history, and more. Everything is fair game for Vera, who finds poetry in the mundane and the monumental, the hidden lives of iconic television stars and the alternate and accidental histories of Latinos in the United States. Carmen Miranda makes an appearance, as do Captain Kirk, Vladamir Nabokov, and José Martí in a literary landscape careening lyrically between lost and found.
