This month the Reverend Ron Padrón joins me to discuss Light in the Dark/Luz en lo Oscuro by Gloria E. Anzaldúa, author and Chicana and feminist activist. Ron and I discuss how this book has influenced his own work as a writer, editor and practitioner and what this read through brought up. We also talk about Anzaldúa’s life and legacy and how her work and this book in particular can help offer perspective on the current moment.

Next month, Via Hedera and I will be discussing Lillian Morrison’s 1958 book Touch Blue, which is available on Open Library.
