[Jorge Guitart interview and reading] /

Recorded on April 12, 1987 for Spoken Arts Radio. Paul Hogan donated a copy of the recording made on a 60 minute TDK sound cassette.

Paul Hogan interviews University at Buffalo professor Jorge Guitart. Cuban-born Guitart is a bilingual poet and discusses the challenges of writing in two languages, Spanish and English. He states that the English-language poems are more intellectual and thought-through, where as the Spanish-language poems are more from the soul and the heart. Guitart reads selections of his works.
