More than 40 poets celebrated El Tecolote’s 40th anniversary with Floricanto, a poetry reading at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts. As the longest running Spanish/English bilingual newspaper in California, El Tecolote’s arts coverage has promoted San Francisco talent like Carlos Santana and John Santos when they were in their youth, has published the work of emerging photojournalists, and has dedicated full editions to poetry. In this episode of Deep Roots, we share Floricanto performances by Guillermo Gómez Peña, Juan Felipe Herrera, Herrera, and Beatriz Herrera. Rio Yañez kicks it off with an interview with Spanish poet and performer RaKel Delgado.
