Ngoma: Entering the Dreamtime with Music and Poetry

Congito & Canaricita, Two Letters from Mexico
Two correos electronicos (emails) from poet Sal Salasin, who writes from Guadalajara, Mexico where he is studying Spanish for his work as a labor organizer, “which in the US requires you to be either a lawyer, a woman, or a speaker of Spanish. Since I didn’t speak a word of Spanish, I decided to learn. Easier than becoming a lawyer or a woman.”
