Eat fried plantains, revel in the poetry of Melania Luisa Marte, and celebrate the last day National Poetry Month!Marte, a truly proud Afro-Latina, writes to us in English and Spanish about "self-love, nationalism, displacement, generational trauma, and ancestral knowledge."
Artist, Yannick Lowery is cooking us fried plantains to go with these nourishing, rich poems, and songs from around the world about—you guessed it—plantains.
"[T]his collection uproots stereotypes while creating a new joyous vision for Black identity and personhood." Check out Plantains and Our Becoming at the Free Library of Philadelphia.
Happy National Poetry Month!
