The Friday Influence

a poetry blog & online home to the work of José Angel Araguz, Ph.D.

* quick post: Blue Mesa Review Issue no. 30 up!

Just a quick post to announce the release of Blue Mesa Review’s Issue no. 30 which includes my poem “Don’t Look Now I Might Be Mexican” which placed 3rd in BMR’s Poetry Contest.

Check out the poem (with audio!) here.

This particular piece has been 10 years in the making. A lot of living and learning – both via books as well as cultural and emotional understanding – was undergone to get to the final draft. I am grateful to have it out in the world in such a fine forum.

Thank you to judge Carmen Gimenez Smith and the good folks at Blue Mesa Review! And congratulations to the other winners!

See you Friday!

Jose
