Natalie Diaz & Aracelis Girmay

2015 Hodder Fellow, Natalie Diaz reads from When My Brother was an Aztec (Cooper Canyon Press 2012). “It takes a poet of rare skill and clarity to write a triolet that includes assault arrests, Sisyphus, meth and Lionel Richie. Adrian Matejka, Poetry Society of America.
Aracelis Girmay’s poetry collections include Teeth (Curbstone Books 2007), winner of the GLCA New Writers Award, and Kingdom Animalia (BOA 2011), a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award.” Aracelis Girmay is one of the best poets writing today.” Shane McCrae, PEN America
